# Hyperbolic

> Hyperbolic is an open-access AI cloud built for developers and researchers. It aggregates underutilized GPUs from data centers, mining farms and idle machines into an on-demand marketplace, and pairs that with serverless inference for state-of-the-art open-source models. The pitch is simple: fast, affordable access to compute and inference without sales calls or feature gates, at prices it says can run up to 75% below incumbents.

- **Founded:** 2022
- **Headquarters:** San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founders:** Jasper Zhang (CEO & Co-Founder), Yuchen Jin (CTO & Co-Founder)
- **Team size:** ~37-38 employees (2026)
- **Products:** GPU Marketplace, Serverless Inference, Hyper-dOS, AI Services & Agent Framework
- **Notable:** Reached $20M total funding within roughly two years of founding., Was the sole provider of Llama 3.1 405B (base) on OpenRouter, at a lower cost than alternatives., Among the first to serve Llama 3.1 405B Base in full BF16 precision for research use.

## Products & services

- **GPU Marketplace** — On-demand and reserved access to GPUs (including A100s and H100s) aggregated from data centers, mining farms and idle machines, billed pay-as-you-go.
- **Serverless Inference** — Low-latency, cost-effective inference for state-of-the-art open-source models like Llama 3.x, Qwen2.5, FLUX and Stable Diffusion, with privacy guarantees.
- **Hyper-dOS** — A decentralized operating system that coordinates the global GPU network with fault-tolerant, high-availability design and proprietary verification.
- **AI Services & Agent Framework** — Higher-level building blocks and an agent framework for developers building scalable AI products on top of open models.

## Achievements

- Reached $20M total funding within roughly two years of founding.
- Was the sole provider of Llama 3.1 405B (base) on OpenRouter, at a lower cost than alternatives.
- Among the first to serve Llama 3.1 405B Base in full BF16 precision for research use.
- Backed by leading crypto/AI investors including Polychain, Variant and angels like Balaji Srinivasan and Illia Polosukhin.
- Cited as trusted by Hugging Face, Vercel, Google, Quora, Stanford and UC Berkeley.

## Latest updates

- **2024-07** — Raised $7M seed round led by Polychain Capital and Lightspeed Faction to build a blockchain-based AI network tapping idle GPU capacity.
- **2024-08** — Launched Llama 3.1 405B Base in BF16, becoming a go-to provider for the full-precision base model.
- **2024-12** — Closed $12M Series A led by Variant and Polychain, bringing total funding to $20M, to advance the GPU marketplace and serverless inference.
- **2026-01** — Reported around 38 employees as the platform expanded model coverage (Llama 3.3, Qwen2.5, FLUX.1/2).
