Hyperbolic and Phala Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance Secure & Verifiable AI Computing
2024-08-09
Hyperbolic, the leading open-access AI Cloud, is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Phala, a TEE based Coprocessor for AI pioneering the confidential computing and secure data processing landscape. This collaboration aims to transform the field of verifiable AI computing by combining the strengths of both companies.
Imagine a solar system, where every celestial body plays a crucial role in maintaining the harmony and balance of the entire system. The sun provides energy, the planets support diverse ecosystems, moons influence tides, and even the smallest asteroids contribute by bringing in essential materials. Hyperbolic’s ecosystem operates in a similar way – everyone benefits, from the smallest node to the largest data center, and even those who interact with the system briefly. Each participant, whether a GPU provider or an AI service user, contributes to a dynamic environment where all elements work together harmoniously. Hyperbolic provides developers with APIs for the most advanced open source LLM inference models available. Additionally, Hyperbolic is currently inviting alpha testers to contribute to the development of their cutting-edge GPU.
Phala Network has been dedicated to advancing confidential computing and off-chain computation. Phala’s expertise lies in leveraging trusted execution environments (TEEs) and secure enclaves to enable secure and verifiable computations. By combining Phala’s cutting-edge technology with Hyperbolic's decentralized marketplace, the partnership aims to provide a seamless and secure environment for running AI models on the blockchain.
This partnership will focus on:
- In-depth TEE research to provide confidential and verifiable compute to the overall Hyperbolic open-access AI Cloud.
- Phala to integrate with Hyperbolic to run open source AI models and inference services.
The partnership will focus on integrating Phala's confidential computing technology into Hyperbolics's marketplace, allowing users to securely deploy and verify AI models on the blockchain. Additionally, the collaboration will explore joint research projects and the development of new use cases for verifiable AI computing.
Both companies are committed to advancing the adoption of verifiable AI computing and ensuring the highest standards of data privacy and security. Through this partnership, they aim to empower developers, researchers, and AI startups with a secure and scalable platform for running AI models.
