Aethir today announced the launch of the ACCELERATE strategic project, securing usage rights for 10 AI data center sites across the US and Europe, with a total capacity of up to 20 megawatts. According to official disclosures, the total contract value upon full completion will exceed $2 billion, with up to $700 million in contracts expected to be secured by the end of 2026. The sites support NVIDIA B300 and GB300 clusters, with node counts ranging from 64 to 256, enabling deployment cycles measured in months rather than the multi-year construction timelines typical of traditional data centers.
Odaily News Aethir announced today the launch of the ACCELERATE strategic initiative, securing access to 10 AI data center sites across the US and Europe, with a total capacity of up to 20 megawatts. According to official disclosures, the total contract value of these sites will exceed $2 billion upon full completion, with an estimated contract value of up to $700 million expected to be finalized by the end of 2026. The sites will support NVIDIA B300 and GB300 clusters, with node scales ranging from 64 to 256 units, and deployment cycles measured in months—unlike the multi-year construction timelines of traditional data centers.Aethir also announced an update to its IDC tokenomics policy, introducing a burn mechanism and a floating platform fee. The Aethir Foundation holds equity in Axe Compute.
According to official announcements, Aethir—a decentralized GPU cloud computing infrastructure platform—has officially launched Aethir Mesh, an in-house open-source large language model (LLM) API platform built atop Aethir’s decentralized GPU infrastructure. The platform is now live and offers a unified API endpoint for direct access to leading open-source models, including DeepSeek V4, Kimi K2.6, GLM-5.1, MiniMax-M2.5, and Qwen3.6-27B.
: Axe Compute (NASDAQ: AGPU) has announced that the underlying infrastructure provider for its $260 million enterprise-level contract is Aethir, a globally distributed GPU infrastructure network. It is reported that Axe Compute has confirmed receipt of the first payment of $43 million under this contract. Aethir has officially initiated the compute delivery process for the corresponding cluster of 2,304 NVIDIA B300 GPUs, with a target go-live date set for the third quarter of 2026.The contract adopts a 36-month take-or-pay structure, and is expected to generate approximately $21 million in revenue per quarter after going live.
Aethir Claw has officially launched its Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) layer, integrating API credits for cutting-edge large models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and others directly into a single platform subscription. Users no longer need to individually register with external LLM providers or manage API keys; one payment covers the entire stack from VPS hosting to model inference.Going forward, Aethir Claw plans to deploy mainstream models on Aethir’s own GPU network, achieving true data sovereignty at the inference layer.Aethir is a leading platform in decentralized GPU cloud computing infrastructure. To date, the network has deployed over 430,000 GPU containers across more than 200 nodes in 94 countries globally, accumulated nearly 1.8 billion hours of computing time, and served over 150 partners and enterprise clients. Its GPU hardware spans the NVIDIA Hopper and Blackwell generations, including the H100, H200, B200, and B300.
AethirClaw has officially launched CARA (Pre-configured Crypto AI Agent), running on Aethir's decentralized GPU infrastructure. Equipped with over 50 skills, it covers core crypto scenarios such as real-time market monitoring, whale wallet tracking, on-chain analysis, social media sentiment monitoring, and project due diligence, and users can use it out-of-the-box without any technical configuration.The platform supports payments via credit card as well as USDT, USDC, and ATH tokens. Aethir also disclosed that it will soon launch a Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) layer, running mainstream open-source large models on Aethir's decentralized GPU infrastructure, and expand multimodal capabilities including text-to-image and video generation.
Nasdaq-listed Axe Compute Inc. (NASDAQ: AGPU) announced today that it has signed a 36-month AI infrastructure contract valued at approximately $260 million with an enterprise client. The deployment includes a dedicated cluster of 2,304 NVIDIA B300 GPUs and a high-speed AI storage system, scheduled to go live in Q3 2026 at a Tier 3 data center in the United States. This is Axe Compute’s largest single enterprise contract since its founding. Axe Compute’s underlying compute infrastructure is powered by Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud. Daniel Wang, Co-Founder and CEO of Aethir, stated: “Enterprise workloads supported by 2,304 NVIDIA B300 GPUs represent precisely the scale we targeted when designing Aethir’s compute infrastructure. Today’s announcement demonstrates that decentralized GPU infrastructure is now capable of supporting the world’s top-tier enterprise AI workloads. I am proud of the dedication shown by both the Aethir and Axe Compute teams.” The contract includes dedicated 4.8-megawatt N+1 redundant power, with the client specifying the deployment location and service standards, and features a structured payment schedule. Following the announcement, A
Decentralized GPU cloud computing infrastructure platform Aethir confirmed that its Ethereum-related bridge contract was attacked. The team promptly disconnected the affected contract and, in collaboration with major exchanges, blacklisted the hacker’s wallet, limiting losses to under $90,000. Earlier, blockchain security firm PeckShield estimated losses at $400,000. The attacker exploited Aethir’s cross-chain smart contract, AethirOFTAdapter, to transfer stolen funds from BNB Chain to Tron. Aethir stated that its Ethereum mainnet ATH token supply remains unaffected. It plans to release a detailed compensation plan and incident analysis next week and will collaborate with exchanges including Binance, Upbit, and Bithumb to freeze funds. Web3 security platform ZeroShadow is assisting with the investigation. In 2025, Aethir achieved $127.8 million in revenue and deployed over 440,000 GPU containers globally.
