Avalanche Foundation has announced a strategic partnership with Aethir to support AI-focused projects within the Avalanche ecosystem through Aethir's $100M Ecosystem Fund. This collaboration aims to accelerate the development of AI projects at the intersection of AI and cryptocurrency, leveraging Aethir's extensive GPU resources, including over 400,000 GPU containers, 3000+ NVIDIA GPUs, and 61,000+ Aethir Edge devices. The partnership will facilitate the integration of AI innovators into the Avalanche ecosystem via the infraBUIDL(AI) Program, which is designed to fund AI-driven projects that contribute to the development of intelligent blockchain applications with up to $15M in direct funding and retroactive grants. Aethir will join the infraBUIDL(AI) Program committee to help select projects for funding and will prioritize these projects for compute grants from its Ecosystem Fund.
