All you need to know about IO Intelligence
Building with AI is often complex, costly, and time-consuming.
But Ionet’s IO Intelligence platform changes that.
Ionet is one of the fastest-growing projects that sits at the intersection of AI and DePIN, offering scalable & cost-effective computing power for AI startups.
Just a few days ago, it surpassed $10M in total network earnings.
And earlier this year, Ionet released IO Intelligence - a product that makes AI much more accessible.
Here’s what makes it interesting:
Seamless UX - IO Intelligence offers a plug-and-play experience with dozens of open-source AI models, including DeepSeek, Meta Llama, and Mistral, to abstract away the complexity of using AI tools
Privacy-First - Sensitive data stays local, while heavy computations scale in the cloud
Ease of Use - Its users have the option to use a developer-friendly API or a full-featured web interface
The teams of financial applications can utilize it for portfolio analysis, risk modeling, or real-time market predictions.
With IO Intelligence, the need for extensive model training and optimization drastically decreases, which also leads to lower costs.
