io.net

 

io.net is a decentralized GPU cloud and DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) built by Ahmad Shadid, Basem Oubah, Tory Green, and Saad Mohammed Alenezi to give AI and machine learning teams on-demand access to distributed GPU and CPU compute. The platform brings together computing resources from independent data centers, mining operations, and other hardware providers into one infrastructure layer. This lets developers deploy AI workloads without depending entirely on traditional centralized cloud providers. io.net is also expanding beyond GPU rental into AI inference and model access through io.intelligence, positioning io.net as an AI infrastructure platform rather than only a decentralized GPU marketplace.
