Gensyn AI Raises $43 Million in Funding Round for Decentralized Machine Learning
According to Ben Fielding, Gensyn AI co-founder, the goal is to link and make available to engineers, researchers, and academics all of the machine learning-capable compute gear in the globe that is capable of performing machine learning training work, including GPUs and CPUs.
The major issue there, according to Fielding, is ensuring that the computational operation carried out on the apparatus has been carried out correctly.
That’s the big secret sauce behind Gensyn—we’ve solved that problem for machine learning training specifically,
