Dubai, UAE: GPU cloud network io.net has announced a partnership with leading image-generation platform Leonardo AI to support their rapid growth by further enhancing their computational capacity. io.net will provision enterprise-grade L40S GPUs that will allow Leonardo AI to continue scaling quickly to meet heightened customer demand for its generative AI content production platform.
The growth of Leonardo AI’s content production platform has seen millions of new customers onboard to utilize its powerful capabilities to generate production-quality, visual assets on demand. This partnership will be an expansion on the A100 GPUs already being utilized by Leonardo AI from io.net. These A100s will now be complemented by a batch of NVIDIA L40S models designed for highly performant generative AI and large language model (LLM) inference.
By supplying advanced GPUs for image inferencing to Leonardo AI, io.net will enable the platform to keep pace with record customer demand. With immediate access to this larger fleet of enterprise-grade GPUs, Leonardo AI is on course to maintain its impressive growth while ensuring its customers enjoy the service reliability and speed they have come to expect of its platform.
Leonardo AI Co-Founder and CFO Chris Gillis said: “io.net has proven to be an invaluable partner in providing the compute Leonardo AI needs to scale in order to keep pace with our rapid growth. Leveraging these L40S GPUs from io.net will allow our platform to serve our customers faster than ever using best-in-class technology that has been optimized for AI inferencing. With the support of io.net, we look forward to onboarding millions of users, confident that we have the compute capacity we need, even during periods of peak demand.”
The partnership with Leonardo AI further demonstrates the production-ready capabilities and increasing demand for io.net’s distributed GPU network, while highlighting the monetization and distribution opportunities that exist for compute suppliers on io.net. More than 300k verified GPUs and 37k cluster-ready GPUs are now available through the io.net Cloud, many of which will be utilized by Leonardo AI. io.net’s decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) forms the largest GPU network of its kind, while still ensuring low latency, high availability and global distribution.
Leonardo’s foundational model empowers millions of people to turn ideas into production-quality visual assets with unprecedented control, speed and style consistency. Creators can generate images in any chosen aesthetic in seconds with simple prompts, create videos, sketch with AI, and custom-train models with their own datasets. The platform’s rapid growth has been aided by its new foundational model, Phoenix, which takes creator control to the next level, with unprecedented prompt adherence, coherent, accurate text in images and the ability to generate production-ready assets in one shot.
io.net’s decentralized cloud solution allows world-leading artificial intelligence companies such as Leonardo AI to access the GPU compute they need flexibly and cost-effectively. The ability to scale linearly in line with demand ensures that startups always have the compute they require and can grow rapidly without users experiencing service degradation. The expansion of Leonardo AI’s partnership with io.net will allow their content production platform to continue serving billions of high-quality visual assets to millions of businesses and consumers.
