dstack and io.net form strategic partnership in the AI infrastructure landscape

dstack, aspiring to establish the open standard for Generative AI development, has formed a strategic partnership with io.net, a pioneer in decentralized computing resources. This collaboration aims to provide a robust platform for AI developers by integrating dstack’s open-source orchestration engine with io.net’s decentralized network. dstack’s initiative to become the open standard for managing AI infrastructure complements io.net’s mission to decentralize access to computing resources. Together, they are creating an unparalleled ecosystem for developing, training, and deploying AI applications efficiently and at scale.

“At dstack, our goal is to make it easier to develop and deploy AI models. We do this by promoting open standards and making decentralized computing more accessible. Our open-source orchestration engine is built to help save money on AI infrastructure and avoid getting locked in with specific vendors.” Andrey Cheptsov

This partnership offers dstack’s users direct access to io.net’s computing resources, significantly enhancing the capabilities of AI-driven projects. Users of dstack stand to benefit from substantially lower costs, with io.net offering compute solutions that are up to 90% more affordable than those of competing market providers.

Additionally, dstack will gain broader access to resources, enhanced by the security and scalability of io.net’s Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN). With over 100,000 nodes and a diverse hardware range — from top-tier NVIDIA A100 and H400 models to more cost-effective options like the 4090 or A6000 cards — io.net empowers machine learning engineers to deploy clusters with thousands of GPUs swiftly and economically. This highlights the vast scale and potential of DePIN.

About io.net

io.net is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that deploys and manages on-demand, decentralized GPU clusters from geo-distributed sources. Hundreds of thousands of GPUs are accessible today in IO Network, and this Internet of GPUs is specifically architected for low latency, high processing demand use cases like AI/ML ops and cloud gaming. io.net democratizes access to GPU compute capacity while reducing costs, expediting lead times, and expanding choice for engineers and businesses. Access compute capacity for a fraction of the cost or become a capacity supplier at io.net .
