According to BlockBeats news, on July 23, the decentralized AI inference platform Gaia announced the completion of a $20 million seed round and Series A financing, led by ByteTrade, SIG, Mirana, and Mantle, with participation from Outlier Ventures, NGC, Taisu Ventures, Consensys Mesh, and others.
The new funds will be used to expand decentralized AI infrastructure and officially launch the world's first AI-native smartphone designed for user autonomous intelligence. The Gaia AI phone is built on Galaxy S25 Edge hardware, with all AI inference processes running locally, without the need for cloud, no data uploads, and no privacy leaks.
