Your AI. Your data. Shared intelligence.

DAI is developing decentralized, energy-aware AI Infrastructure that creates a peer-to-peer network of autonomous edge AI Nodes that provide local AI services, distributed model execution, and privacy-aware collaborative learning.

From isolated devices to cooperative intelligence

A small AI system can operate locally and autonomously, but its computing resources are limited.

DAI is a technology that brings together the computing power of multiple small AI systems into a single distributed supercomputer — a Collective Superbrain.

This enables them to run large language models collaboratively, maintain a shared understanding of the world by exchanging data through a peer-to-peer network, and do all of this without relying on a central server.

Why it matters

AI is powerful. Its infrastructure is fragile.

The problem

Today's AI infrastructure relies heavily on centralized data centers and cloud services. This dependence creates vulnerabilities to cyberattacks, infrastructure failures, power grid disruptions, and cascading outages that can interrupt access to AI services.

At the same time, the rapid growth of AI is driving unprecedented demand for electricity, while limited grid capacity, high infrastructure costs, and lengthy approval processes are slowing the deployment of new AI computing capacity.

The DAI solution

DAI is building decentralized AI infrastructure where computing is no longer dependent on a single central data center. Instead, workloads are distributed across autonomous AI devices, local computing nodes, and energy-independent clusters connected through a peer-to-peer network.

DAI's modular, peer-to-peer architecture enables AI computing capacity to scale by connecting additional nodes rather than relying on the construction of traditional centralized data centers.

Energy-aware workload distribution and the ability to operate nodes using independent or renewable power sources can further reduce dependence on centralized infrastructure, ease deployment in power-constrained locations, and improve resilience.

External validation

With the support of the European Union and EuroHPC.

DAI received a EuroHPC allocation on LUMI, one of Europe’s fastest supercomputers.

This grant turned an architecture that previously existed only on paper into real MVP nodes and enabled experiments that can help bring the DAI Network to scale.

Thanks to access to supercomputing resources, the team is working on:

  • Building the Distributed Model Layer: splitting large AI models across multiple nodes and enabling recovery when one of those nodes goes offline.
  • A network simulator with thousands of virtual peer-to-peer devices: testing unstable connections, node churn, and partial network outages.
  • Federated and Split Learning experiments across heterogeneous nodes, including devices running on battery power.

This non-dilutive R&D support validates the project as an innovative AI infrastructure initiative with significant potential for further development — not simply an early-stage commercial idea.

We built our first working off-grid DAI Node — powered by its own battery and rechargeable from solar panels.

With Starlink connectivity, it can operate privately and locally or connect to the DAI Network, keeping AI available even during power outages.

The same low-power, renewable-energy setup can also help make Green Mode compute cheaper across the network.
