io.net and Marlin, leading players in decentralized AI computing, have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the adoption of trustless AI within Web3. Both companies are strong advocates of open-source AI, and this collaboration is poised to empower builders to innovate and rapidly introduce new AI applications.
The field of AI is booming across industries ranging from customer service to healthcare. However, there are concerns around data privacy, centralization of model ownership, verifiability and lack of transparency. Model developers want to safeguard their IP while users want to ensure that the results from the desired models are correct. Marlin’s Oyster solves this dilemma.
Marlin's Oyster platform provides a secure training environment for AI developers. Utilizing Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), Oyster ensures that neither the training data nor the resulting model weights are ever exposed. This allows model developers to monetize or even tokenize their models. Similarly, end users interacting with deployed AI models can verify the model's integrity without revealing their queries.
io.net steps in by providing Marlin's Oyster network with on-demand access to high-performance, confidential computing Nvidia H100/H200 GPUs at significantly reduced costs. This access extends beyond traditional data centers, encompassing crypto miners, independent developers, and even large-scale enterprises.
This strategic partnership empowers builders to leverage Marlin and io.net to construct a decentralized confidential computing framework for their AI models. This, in turn, enables the creation of globally accessible, trustless AI applications on the frontier of Web3.
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 .

About Marlin
Marlin is a verifiable computing protocol featuring TEE and ZK-based coprocessors to delegate complex workloads over a decentralized cloud. Servers provisioned using smart contract calls host ML models, gateways, frontends, MEV or automation bots, or backends for arbitrary computations using external APIs with baked-in auto-scaling and fault tolerance. Marlin is backed by Binance Labs and Electric Capital.
