Nodes

Node AI (nodes.ai) operates a decentralized network of GPU nodes that clients can rent on demand to build, train and deploy AI and machine learning models, and that hosts can supply by lending their own GPU hardware. The platform targets both individuals and enterprises and emphasizes one-click deployment: users select a GPU node and launch it directly, with pre-built templates for common machine learning stacks including TensorFlow, Caffe2, PyTorch, Theano, CNTK and MXNet, plus 1-click applications. Native, real-time monitoring of system-level metrics and configurable alerting are included without additional fees.

On the supply side, hosts connect their GPUs to the network, set their own prices and availability schedules, and track reputation and performance through the platform; rewards are claimed in Ethereum. On the demand side, clients submit computational tasks that are distributed across the network of high-performance nodes and processed in parallel, with the company describing the use of an L1 blockchain for secure and verifiable computation and encrypted return of verified results. The site also markets a hardware product, GPU Node V1, offered on a pre-order basis and described as an AI-optimized, energy-efficient GPU device with encryption and secure data transfer for use in the decentralized network.

Business model

Two-sided marketplace for GPU compute: hosts lend GPU capacity and set their own prices and schedules, while clients rent nodes for machine learning and deep learning workloads. Host rewards are paid in Ethereum. The company also markets a GPU Node V1 hardware unit for pre-order.

Pay-as-you-go pricing for compute, billed on real-time pricing and availability with usage-based charges and no stated hidden fees; hardware is offered via pre-order.
