Nillion, a company focused on blind computation, and io.net, known for its decentralized distributed compute networks, are pleased to announce their strategic partnership, which aims to improve the inferenceof machine learning models with better efficiency and privacy.

Nillion and io.net have decided to investigate a partnership that combines Nillion’s privacy-focused infrastructure with io.net’s extensive GPU computing capabilities. Afterthe mainnet launch of Nillion, the collaboration will concentrate on creating a proof of concept that will allow Nillion clusters to be customized by utilizing io.net’s GPU resources.

Specifically, the two parties are exploring the implementations of GPU-powered blind computation inference in some of Nillion’s clusters, keeping users’ input data encrypted while offering privacy also for model parameters. Such implementation could further accelerate the adoption of AI agent deployments on the Nillion Network while becoming a potential backbone of split inference implementations that combine different privacy-enhancing technologies in running AI inference.

“This partnership with io.net is a significant step towards our mission of providing fast, securefast secure, decentralized computation” said Lukas Bruell Head of Ecosystem,of Nillion. When we work together, we can provide users all around the world with enhanced privacy and computing power. “In addition to improving our service offerings, our partnership with Nillion pushes the limits of what decentralized computing can accomplish in terms of privacy and scale,” said Tausif Ahmed, VP of BD at io.net.

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. Thousands of GPUs are accessible today in io.net’s 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.
