Silicon Valley’s Web3 AI project, DecentralGPT, has announced the completion of angel and Series A strategic funding rounds totaling $3 million in equivalent assets. The rounds were led by AGICrypto Capital, a globally renowned digital asset investment firm, with participation from top Web3 institutions including Cherry Capital, BTR Capital, DePINX, and Aethir, signaling the market’s strategic commitment to decentralized artificial intelligence.

As the world’s first fully decentralized large language model (LLM) infrastructure, DecentralGPT has revolutionized the decentralized deployment of leading open-source LLMs such as DeepSeek R1 and Llama4.0 through its innovative distributed AI inference network. The project’s core architecture disrupts traditional AI monopolies, rigorously adhering to the principles of "verifiable security, data privacy, democratic governance, and fully open-source code" to create a trustless intelligent ecosystem for developers and users worldwide.

Notably, since its mainnet launch in June 2024, the platform has achieved exponential growth: cumulative registered users have surpassed 2 million, while token holder addresses have reached 900,000. Accessible via its official website https://www.decentralgpt.org, DecentralGPT continues to expand the frontiers of AI democratization through its groundbreaking on-chain inference verification mechanism and distributed computing economic model, attracting significant attention from global AI academia, including Turing Award laureates.

With fresh capital injection, the team plans to accelerate core developments such as multimodal LLM integration and zero-knowledge proof privacy layers. Against a backdrop of recurring data security controversies involving centralized giants like OpenAI, DecentralGPT’s decentralized framework may emerge as a pivotal force in reshaping the power dynamics of the AI industry.
