Wombo Partners with io.net to Boost AI Capabilities

Wombo and io.net have partnered to enhance Wombo’s AI capabilities using io.net’s decentralized physical infrastructure network.

AI-driven virtual character software decentralized physical infrastructure network io.net and Wombo have announced their partnership to improve Wombo’s machine learning algorithms and increase its ability to handle more users.

The CEO Ben-Zion Benkhin expressed his excitement about the partnership with io.net, saying, “We are thrilled to collaborate with io.net to tap into underutilized computing resources for pioneering AI applications.”. An end to the GPU supply crunch could be within reach if we work together, he said.

They will be able to improve its machine learning algorithms by using io.net-managed clusters of Apple silicon chips, according to the partnership. In addition, the project aims to access AI workloads across a multitude of consumer devices by utilizing the neural engine features of Apple’s CPUs and the extensive clustering capabilities of io.net.

In addition, by working with io.net, Wombo will have access to the company’s hardware resources, which will help with expansion and save costs.

The Canadian firm, created Dream by Wombo, an AI-generated art app that won the title of “Best App” in the US in 2022 from Google. In the past 12 months, this app has amassed 47 million downloads and made 4.3 million dollars in sales. Wombo Me, their newest artificial intelligence avatar app, lets users turn a selfie into multiple lifelike avatars.

On-Demand, Cost-Effective Cluster Deployment: How Io.net Is Changing the Game for GPU Deployment 

Businesses can now deploy clusters on demand at a lower cost thanks to io.net, which brings together geographically separated GPUs. With io.net’s network of more than 100,000 nodes and a range of hardware options, machine learning engineers can quickly and affordably deploy Ray and Kubernetes clusters with thousands of GPUs. The options range from high-end NVIDIA A100 and H400 models to more affordable 4090 or A6000 cards. 

In a written statement, a spokesman from io.net noted that Wombo exemplifies a consumer AI product at scale, with over 74 million people across more than 180 countries at its peak. “We are prepared to assist WOMBO in scaling their compute infrastructure,” he stated, adding that io.net’s network had already surpassed 520,000 GPUs and CPUs in only five months and had an infrastructure worth over $2 billion.
