Fortytwo × Acurast: Swarm Inference Meets TEEs
At Fortytwo we are beginning a collaboration with Acurast to explore how swarm inference can run on their global network of 100,000+ smartphones, each equipped with Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) support. A TEE is a secure area of a device’s processor that isolates code and data during execution, preventing access even from the operating system or other applications. This setup allows us to research private AI operations that may, in some cases, offer stronger isolation than enterprise s...

How Fortytwo Works: From Nodes to Inference
When it comes to scaling, nature has always been the best teacher. From the intricate mycological networks beneath forest floors to the emergent intelligence of ant colonies, the natural world demonstrates a profound truth: decentralized networks consistently outperform centralized systems in resilience, adaptability, and sustainable growth. At the frontier of artificial intelligence, this lesson has grown increasingly relevant. While tech giants race to build ever-larger language models—cons...

Your Computer is The Future of AI
Today, almost every computer is connected to every other—at least potentially, through internet connection. Blockchain technology has used this connectivity to decentralize trust, computation, and finance. But, as decentralized finance and services gain momentum, artificial intelligence—the most transformative technology of our time—remains firmly in the hands of a few corporations. This centralization is now facing an unavoidable constraint: compute scarcity. The expansion of AI is requiring...
