Empowering the Future of AI: Introducing NeurochainAI's Grant Program
In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, innovation often comes from unexpected places. At NeurochainAI, we believe in the power of individual developers and small startups to drive groundbreaking advancements in AI technology. That's why we're thrilled to announce our grant program, designed to support and nurture the next generation of AI innovators.
Who We're Looking For
Our grant program is specifically tailored for two groups:
- Indie AI Developers: Solo developers or small teams working on open-source projects or innovative AI applications. These are the unsung heroes of the AI world, often pushing the boundaries of what's possible with limited resources.
- Small AI Startups: Early-stage companies focused on AI applications, particularly those utilizing open-source AI language models (LLMs). These startups are the seedbeds of innovation, exploring niche markets and pioneering new approaches to AI.
You don’t feel like you fall under either? Feel free to apply, we have different solutions for different types of businesses.
What We Offer
Selected grant recipients will receive:
- $5,000 worth of AI inference credits: This substantial computational boost will help you develop, test, and scale your AI projects without financial strain.
- Access to NeurochainAI's decentralized AI infrastructure: Leverage our robust GPU network along with quantized open-source AI models to efficiently build and deploy your AI solutions.

More About NeurochainAI’s Solutions

The world doesn’t need more hardware, it needs to connect existing hardware into always available everywhere present networks for computations paired with innovation in software optimization. That’s exactly what we do at NeurochainAI.
Inference on a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN)
Unlike all GPU cloud providers, we’ve built NeurochainAI in the principle of a network similar to how blockchain operates. Instead of clustering GPUs and making you rent specific GPUs by the hour, we distribute AI inference requests across the whole network based on the compatibility of the AI task with available GPUs, location, and other parameters to guarantee the most effective execution of every AI compute.
This allows us to maximize the use of hardware and optimize the efficiency of your budget while guaranteeing our compute network's availability, reliability, and infinite scale.
We have almost 14,000 GPUs in our network ranging from simple laptops to RTX 3090, 4090, A10G, A100, and H100s to cater to any AI compute requirement. These GPUs are distributed across 163 countries worldwide and the network continues growing constantly.
Open-Source AI Models Radily Quantized for Use
We’re connecting distributed hardware into a decentralized network for inference. This by default requires model quantization as large complex models require enterprise-grade hardware. By using these smaller, more efficient models, we provide faster and more affordable AI inference services that are compatible with consumer-grade hardware. This allows developers and businesses to deploy AI solutions at significantly lower costs compared to traditional platforms.
Currently, NeurochainAI primarily uses 4-bit models, with the next upgrade set out to support models ranging from 2 to 32 bits. While 8-bit models offer the best results (and will be available), 6-bit models are around 15% smaller and faster, with almost no noticeable difference in output quality. Most importantly, developers will be able to choose what works best for their specific AI solutions.
On top of that, we’re fully compatible with the Open API protocol. This means that businesses and developers can now seamlessly integrate the inference of the most popular open-source LLMs like Mistral and Llama on our DePIN without any need to upgrade integration protocols. With the Open API communication protocol, developers can use their standard integration layer without additional integrations. Read more.
Crowdsourcing Data To Feed Into Your AI Model
Collecting, validating, and preparing data for AI model training can be a tedious and expensive task. The last thing you want is your AI developers wasting time on something that can be easily solved by employing the community to do it for you.
Wether you need to train an AI assistant, give your model a personality, or feed it with data from various sources, we tap into community to collect and validate data for you at a fraction of a cost compared to alternatives.
Once ready, you can get your data in raw JASON for maximum flexibility to slice the data in any format for training depending on the model of choice.
Why Choose NeurochainAI’s Grant?
Our grant program isn't just about financial support. It's about joining a movement to democratize AI and push the boundaries of what's possible. Here's why you should consider applying:
