General

What is Gradient building?

Gradient is building the world’s first fully distributed AI stack — a peer-powered infrastructure where intelligence is hosted, served, and owned by the people.

What makes Gradient different?

Instead of running models in closed datacenters, Gradient is distributing AI workloads across a global mesh of consumer devices and compatible datacenters. This reduces cost, improves resilience, and democratizes access.
