Jasper Zhang
Jasper Zhang is the co-founder and CEO of Hyperbolic, an open-access AI cloud and GPU marketplace based in San Francisco. A math prodigy who won gold medals at the Chinese and Russian Mathematical Olympiads and finished a UC Berkeley math PhD in two years, he moved from quantitative research at Citadel Securities to blockchain research at Ava Labs before founding Hyperbolic in 2022 with Yuchen Jin. His mission: make large-scale AI compute affordable and available to anyone with an idea, from students to enterprises.
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.
