GPU cloud network io.net has announced a strategic partnership with Phala Network to advance secure computation and decentralized AI. The collaboration will see Phala extend the capabilities of decentralized AI by accessing GPU hardware via io.net’s cloud network, IO Cloud.
Partnership Objectives
The collaboration between io.net and Phala Network aims to enhance the capabilities of TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) CPU nodes, providing the infrastructure for computationally intensive dapps to thrive. Phala Network will rely on Nvidia H100 and H200 GPUs to power its TEE technology. The partnership with io.net will ensure access to these essential GPUs that form the cornerstone of Phala’s decentralized AI ecosystem.
Technical Achievements and Technologies
In August, Phala released the first benchmark for TEE-enabled GPUs, setting a new standard for decentralized AI. By extending Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to include AI accelerators like GPUs, the collaboration with io.net ensures that sensitive AI workloads are securely processed with advanced cryptographic protections. Nvidia’s H100 Tensor Core GPUs, equipped with confidential computing features such as encrypted memory and secure boot, further enhance Phala’s security layer.
Future of Collaboration
Together, io.net and Phala will conduct research, testing, and benchmarking, starting with cutting-edge NVIDIA H100s and H200s. The partners will explore deploying Phala Network’s autonomous AI agents and AI agent contracts on the IO Network as well as integrating Phala Network’s TEE hardware and workers into the IO Network of GPUs.
The collaboration between io.net and Phala Network promises significant advancements in secure computation and decentralized AI, opening new horizons for developers and engineers in the Web3 and machine learning fields.
