Gradient

Gradient is a decentralized AI infrastructure company building the Open Intelligence Stack — a peer-powered, sovereign alternative to centralized AI clouds. Its stack pairs Parallax (a distributed model-serving / world inference engine that turns heterogeneous machines into one AI cluster), Lattica (a universal peer-to-peer data-motion engine that moves model weights and inference tokens across a global machine mesh), Echo (distributed reinforcement learning) and Symphony (a decentralized multi-agent framework). Gradient Cloud is the enterprise inference offering, exposing an OpenAI-compatible REST API (model listing, chat completion, and text completion, streaming or non-streaming) at apis.gradient.network. The projects run atop a Solana-based network whose Sentry Node browser extension let contributors share edge compute. Gradient is backed by Multicoin Capital and Wing Venture Capital.

Gradient publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Chat API, Completions API, and Models API. Tagged areas include Company, Crypto Web3, Artificial Intelligence, Machine-Learning, and LLM Inference.

Gradient’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, engineering blog, support, authentication, changelog, CLI, and 15 more developer resources.
