Did you know that initial estimates show Qubic could be one of the fastest supercomputers on the planet?
But here’s the difference: unlike traditional supercomputers controlled by governments or large tech corporations, Qubic is built on a completely different foundation — rooted in decentralization, accessibility, and the public good.
Rethinking supercomputing from the ground up
Let's be clear about what Qubic is not:
- It is not controlled by a single entity.
- It is not managed by a trillion-dollar company.
- It does not rely on large data centers that consume excessive energy.
- It is not hidden behind closed systems or proprietary walls.
Instead, Qubic is open and community-driven. It exists as a decentralized network, with contributions and governance from its users — including researchers, institutions, developers, and individuals who believe AI should serve society, not just private interests.
Certified Computational Power
To substantiate its claims, Qubic hired CertiK — a major blockchain and protocol auditor — to verify its performance. We will update the results soon!
Meanwhile, according to initial estimates, Qubic achieved 130.12 PFlops (petaflops), making it the 6th fastest computer in the world, metrics aligned with the ranking of the top 500 supercomputers, and using a similar FP64 metric to compare raw computing without measuring connectivity speed.
CertiK had previously validated Qubic as the fastest blockchain ever verified on the mainnet, achieving 15.5 million transactions per second (TPS).
But raw power is only part of the story. The true innovation of Qubic lies in how that power is applied.
From Proof of Work to Useful Proof of Work (uPoW)
Traditional proof of work systems, like Bitcoin, incentivize energy-intensive mining for computations that serve no real-world function.
Qubic follows a different path with Useful Proof of Work (uPoW).
Key differences:
- Qubic utilizes everyday equipment — standard CPUs and GPUs — and not specialized ASIC miners;
- It is open to participation from anyone, not just industrial-scale operations;
- It supports tasks with meaningful outcomes — from training AI models to scientific computing; and
- Its design minimizes energy consumption and environmental impact.
This model democratizes access and promotes a more efficient use of computational resources.
Bioinspired AI: Aigarth
At the core of Qubic's AI system is Aigarth, the platform where models are trained and developed.
Qubic is not just based on large language models. Its approach to general artificial intelligence (AGI) is inspired by neuroscience, not just statistics.
While conventional AI models predict the next word using large datasets and parameter tuning, Qubic's systems:
- Learn through reinforcement, just as the brain strengthens synaptic pathways.
- Create predictive models of the world based on continuous information and feedback.
- Solve problems independently, evolving over time.
This bioinspired methodology reflects how intelligence emerges in nature — not as a function of data size, but of adaptive learning.
A dual mission: to build AI and to build it responsibly
Qubic's long-term vision is based on two main objectives:
- To develop true AGI, modeled on natural intelligence, not artificial imitation.
- Empowering a global and decentralized community to guide and govern this development with ethical principles.
This includes institutions, researchers, and developers aligned around openness, transparency, sustainability, and universal access.
AGI for good
As part of this commitment, Qubic launched AGI for Good — a movement to ensure that artificial intelligence creates tangible value for society, rather than extractive or exploitative outcomes.
This includes:
- Making AI models and tools accessible to all.
- Supporting projects with social and scientific impact.
- Ensuring that ethical safeguards are incorporated from day one.
- Creating educational and participatory pathways for global communities.
Together, we can redefine what supercomputing — and AI — can become.
