Hello everyone, I am Little Hamburger. Previously, I introduced you to the @AethirCloud project, and I am still keeping track of it. Recently, under the tariff storm, the global GPU industry has been impacted by tariffs. How is Aethir doing lately? Little Hamburger will take you to have a look!

Tariffs are causing chaos, and AI is anxious: GPUs are both expensive and hard to come by, and supply cannot keep up.
Recently, tariffs have been causing a ruckus again. Trump imposed a 10% tariff on 86 countries, which multiplied tariffs on Chinese goods several times. This has left the global supply chain in disarray, like someone shaking a glass bottle full of water violently, making water splash everywhere.
The AI and GPU chip manufacturing industries have been hit the hardest! AI relies on GPU chips to run, but now that chip tariffs have skyrocketed, chips that used to cost a few dozen dollars suddenly require hundreds to purchase. Chip manufacturers' profits have decreased, and companies training AI models have also suffered, with costs so high that they can only pause their projects.
But at this time, a project called Aethir emerged. It’s like a small seedling in a storm; despite the poor environment, it shows unique development potential thanks to new methods and technologies.
How did Aethir cut through the storm of tariffs?

Aethir is not a cloud computing platform built by a single country but a 'computing power sharing alliance' created by global users. Everyone integrates their idle GPU resources, so anyone needing computing power can come here to borrow it. Amidst the current turbulent global economic situation, with tariffs rising and supply chains being disrupted, Aethir's robust technology and straightforward product functions and services stand out even more at this time.
1) Aethir is like a 'super GPU warehouse' built together by netizens around the world. No matter where you are on Earth, you can participate without regional restrictions. Everyone pools their GPU resources together to form a super large computing network.
Aethir Earth is the core area of this 'super warehouse,' specifically designed for AI model training and inference. It's like equipping AI with a powerful dedicated computer, without unnecessary intermediaries, working directly with hardware. Here, AI training models are incredibly fast and particularly stable, avoiding issues like crashes and data loss, allowing AI to quickly learn new knowledge and efficiently complete various tasks.
2) What’s the biggest fear when playing cloud games? The graphics lagging like a PowerPoint presentation, waiting forever for actions to respond, wanting to shoot only to wait a second for the shot to fire—it's incredibly frustrating.
Aethir Atmosphere is like a 'game acceleration tool,' specifically creating ultra-fast low-latency networks for cloud gaming. Whether you’re crazy drifting in racing games or showcasing maneuvers in MOBA games, as soon as you move your fingers, the game graphics immediately follow, with no delays or stutters, making the gameplay feel as smooth as playing on your own computer, allowing you to effortlessly shine in the game!
3) The GPU provider program enables global idle GPU resources to be 'turned into treasure.' Everyone shares computing power and can earn money, working together to build a decentralized network. The enterprise solutions paired with the Checker/Indexer node system act like an intelligent steward, reasonably distributing computing power while ensuring quality, forming a complete management process.
4) Aethir runs super reliably, hardly ever dropping the ball! It has 'bases' in 22 countries worldwide, accumulating over 420,000 GPU computing units. These devices are scattered around the world, with no single entity able to control the entire system. Even if something goes wrong in one place, devices in other locations can immediately take over, ensuring that services remain online, unlike those old centralized systems that would crash completely if one part failed. Moreover, it works directly with hardware, avoiding unnecessary virtualization steps, like driving straight onto the highway without traffic lights, allowing for exceptionally fast computing speeds!
5) To invite more people to join, Aethir has directly set aside $100 million as a 'prize pool'! Whether you are a programmer, an AI startup team, or a game development studio, as long as you come here to use resources and innovate, you have a chance to access this money. With real financial support, people are more willing to invest, gradually forming a positive circle of mutual assistance and profit.
With US-China tariffs fluctuating, and everyone in the market on edge, many companies are looking for reliable computing support but can't find suitable options. Aethir, with its advanced technology and innovative operational methods, has precisely captured market demand and clearly has potential. Companies struggling under the burden of tariffs and urgently seeking stable computing power may well see Aethir as a 'lifeline.'
However, the competition in this field is intense, and whether it can continue to excel remains a question mark, dependent on its future performance. But one thing is certain: it has already stirred up a storm in the GPU computing space, and anyone paying attention to this industry needs to keep an eye on what new tricks it might come up with next!
Little Hamburger has always thought this project is excellent, and I have been keeping an eye on it. The future development of this project should not be underestimated. If you want to know more about its future developments, you can join the official community! I'll be waiting for you all there!
