🚨 Big news from Gaia Labs! We’ve raised $20M across Seed and Series A to scale decentralized AI infrastructure and we’re launching the first AI-native smartphone designed for user-owned intelligence. Gaia is building the backbone of a decentralized AI economy where inference is verifiable, agents are sovereign, and value flows directly to users, not platforms. This funding accelerates: ⚙️ Expansion of Gaia’s open inference network (700K+ active nodes, 17T inferences) 📱 Launch of the Gaia AI Phone: on-device models, local agents, full data control 🧰 A new open-source toolkit for LLMs, agents, and devs 🌉 Cross-chain infrastructure to power AI across blockchains and data ecosystems We’re grateful to our lead investors ByteTrade/SIG, Mirana/Mantle, and to visionary partners including Outlier Ventures, NGC, Taisu Ventures, Consensys Mesh, and more for believing in this movement. The Gaia AI Phone, built on Galaxy S25 Edge hardware, runs decentralized AI inference locally without cloud dependency or data extraction: your agents controlled by your hardware. If AI is the next computing layer, we’re building the network and the interface. Learn more here:
