Partner Spotlight: Avalanche Foundation 🔺 Today, we’re spotlighting one of the ecosystems actively pushing AI innovation forward: Avalanche Foundation. As AI builders scale, they need two things to work in sync: high-performance blockchain infrastructure and reliable, scalable compute. This is exactly where @AvalancheFDN and @AethirCloud complement each other. 🧵👇🏻

2/ Through Aethir’s $100M Ecosystem Fund, we support promising AI teams across Web3 with premium GPU compute. Within the Avalanche ecosystem, this support extends to AI innovators building through the infraBUIDL(AI) Program, ensuring they have the infrastructure needed to build and grow on Avalanche.

3/ Why Avalanche stands out (builder-first view)? @avax has become a go-to environment for teams that care about performance. • Near-instant transaction finality • Low-latency execution • Flexible, customizable Layer 1s • Infrastructure built for applications that need speed at scale For AI-driven use cases, this builder-first architecture makes a meaningful difference.

4/ How Aethir supports AI development in the Avalanche ecosystem? Our focus is straightforward: removing the compute bottleneck. • Aethir contributes ecosystem insight through the infraBUIDL(AI) committee • Strong AI teams can be fast-tracked for support via Aethir’s Ecosystem Fund • Builders gain access to enterprise-grade GPU compute alongside Avalanche-native infrastructure Idea → deployment.

5/ AI innovation doesn’t scale in isolation. With Avalanche providing a high-performance blockchain foundation and Aethir delivering distributed GPU compute, builders get an environment built for speed, scale, and real-world AI applications. If you’re building AI on Avalanche, this ecosystem is designed to support you 💚🔺
