Hyperbolic
Decentralized GPU marketplace with verifiable AI inference.
About
Hyperbolic Labs builds an open-access compute cloud for AI workloads, centered on a GPU marketplace that pools idle GPUs from data centers and individuals and rents them to developers at a discount to traditional clouds. Its inference service uses a Proof of Sampling protocol to make AI inference verifiable, and the company claims over a billion tokens processed daily.
The San Francisco startup raised a $12 million strategic round in December 2024 led by Variant and Polychain Capital, bringing total funding to $20 million. Honest caveats: token-throughput figures are company-reported, decentralized supply can vary in reliability versus reserved cloud capacity, and the network is young.
What it can do
- On-demand GPU rentals from a decentralized marketplace
- Verifiable inference via the Proof of Sampling protocol
- API access to open models at discounted rates
Setup
Sign up at hyperbolic.ai to rent GPUs or call the inference API.
Prerequisites
A Hyperbolic account; idle GPUs to list as a supplier.
