A decentralized data exchange protocol
To the entire Ocean and ASI community.
We are eager to share more information about Ocean’s departure from the ASI Alliance, to answer many of the valid questions by the community and respond forcefully to allegations raised.
We are, however, constrained from sharing the truth and facts at the moment. Please standby while the process works its way through and as soon as we can share more, we will.

More compute, better models
Then the ceiling hits: data and architecture. Getting there demands elastic, high-performance access
Ocean Nodes is our path to a global serverless compute layer for training and inference
Open and portable https://x.com/oceanprotocol/status/1975184914497560785
From idle GPUs to accelerated global compute
We’re building toward a peer-to-peer network that makes serverless AI more open, affordable, and privacy-aware
https://x.com/oceanprotocol/status/1973763700013293847
AI powers everything today, from search engines to chatbots, and it all depends on computing from GPUs & CPUs
As AI systems scale, demand for compute grows just as fast. Building more data centers isn’t a complete solution, as costs and energy use continue to rise sharply. A better alternative is decentralized computing
Ocean Nodes turn compute into a sovereign asset by unlocking billions of idle machines worldwide. This allows AI researchers to rent affordable, distributed compute for their workflows

AI is scaling faster than hardware can keep up.
By 2030, training runs will be 10,000× bigger than today, but power limits, GPU shortages, and latency are already slowing things down
Ocean Nodes will soon enable scaling by converting any high-performance GPU device into a compute node for AI training. With on-demand GPU access, you get instant, flexible compute for every AI need, without the hassle of managing infrastructure

What makes an AI system truly smart, the algorithm or the data it learns from? It's the data
High-quality data originates from annotation, which takes raw text, images, and signals and transforms them into structured knowledge, thereby driving accuracy, reliability, and adaptability
Simply put, intelligence starts with the annotation of data
