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.
