Collective Intelligence for Humankind

AI marks an inflection point for civilization. Yet today, most capabilities are concentrated in a handful of centralized platforms, creating risks of privacy loss, exclusion, single points of failure, and monopolistic control.

Distributed AI is the response. By spreading control of data, compute, and algorithms across a diverse network, we gain transparency, fairness, and resilience. Innovation broadens, while dependency on centralized gatekeepers shrinks.

Our mission

Gradient is building the world’s first fully distributed AI stack: a sovereign, peer-powered infrastructure where intelligence is hosted, served, and owned by the people. Our goal is a global foundation that enables the distribution, evolution, and embodiment of intelligence.

How we frame the stack

• Distributed data governance — communities manage data access, provenance, and flow

• Collaborative compute frameworks — workloads run across consumer devices and datacenter hardware together

• Open and transparent algorithm development — research and methods remain inspectable, reproducible, and verifiable

Why it matters

This approach protects privacy, democratizes access, and reduces systemic bias. It also strengthens reliability by drawing on the diversity of infrastructure and contributors.
