OpenGradient has raised a total of $9.5 million to develop a computational layer network focused on "verifiable AI." The funding round saw participation from a16z crypto, Coinbase Ventures, SV Angel, and several industry figures. OpenGradient's network aims to execute AI inference using GPU and TEE nodes, generating cryptographic proofs for each inference to facilitate verification of models, inputs, and outputs by downstream applications. Additionally, the company plans to offer a decentralized model library and developer tools such as SDKs and APIs.
