Wu said that, according to official information from OpenGradient, its total funding has reached 9.5 million USD, used to build a computational layer network for "Verifiable AI". This round was co-invested by a16z crypto, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, SV Angel, and several industry figures. OpenGradient stated that its network will perform AI inference through GPU and TEE nodes, generating cryptographic proofs for each inference to facilitate downstream applications in verifying models, inputs, and outputs; it also provides decentralized model libraries and developer SDK/API tools.
