At Gaia we believe that the future of artificial intelligence requires true decentralization. We believe that developers should have access to build their own personalized AI. Gaia is pioneering the future of decentralized AI infrastructure, building a platform that enables everyone to create, deploy, scale, and monetize AI agents.
