The Decentralized Platform for Open, Secure, and Permissionless AI

Mission

At OpenGradient, our mission is to accelerate open-source AI by democratizing model ownership, streamlining AI deployment, and ensuring universal access to cutting-edge AI technologies. We strive to scale AI compute on-chain, enhancing security and verifiability while enabling seamless model hosting and deployment.

Vision

We envision a future where AI is not only advanced and secure but also accessible to all, enabling next-gen intelligent and optimization applications and driving transformative innovations across industries.

Overview

OpenGradient is the first decentralized platform for open-source AI model hosting, secure execution, agentic reasoning, and application deployment. OpenGradient's novel heterogeneous AI compute architecture (HACA) enables permissionless AI inference, statistical analysis, data processing, agent execution all to be securely and scalably run end-to-end from a smart contract while building a web platform that aims to accelerate research in AI.

OpenGradient empowers developers with the ability to seamlessly harness open-source models and leverage compute for features like risk management, ML optimization, AI agents, sybil resistance, defi mechanism design and more. Our research team has also started the world's first research collective focused on on-chain intelligence and compute.
