Value proposition
Reduces AI inference costs by 40% to 90% (up to 10x) compared to centralized data centers by leveraging existing idle hardware and eliminating the need for expensive infrastructure builds.
Products and solutions
["Air Cloud: A 100% decentralized AI inference cloud platform","Distributed GPU Container Service: Automated containerized deployment for AI models","Advanced Auto-scaling Engine: Real-time resource allocation and scaling based on demand","AX Research Support Platform: Specialized infrastructure for high-difficulty AI transformation research"]
Unique value
Unlike traditional cloud providers that rely on centralized hyper-scale data centers, AIEEV connects thousands of heterogeneous edge GPUs into a single virtualized pool, drastically lowering energy consumption and cost.
Target customer
AI service developers, startups requiring large-scale inference, research institutions, and enterprises undergoing AI Transformation (AX).
Industries served
["Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning","Cloud Computing","Manufacturing & Industrial AX","Robotics","Research & Academia"]
Technology advantage
Proprietary GPU virtualization and distributed resource management technology that ensures stable performance across decentralized nodes, combined with real-time thermal monitoring and safety protocols (IEC61508 standards).
How they differentiate
Proprietary GPU virtualization technology that utilizes idle GPU resources from internet cafes (PC bangs) to reduce AI inference costs by up to 90%. Unlike general DePIN projects, AIEEV focuses on enterprise-grade safety (IEC61508) and high-performance inference stabilization.
