intelligence

Yuma powers transformative projects on Bittensor that will reshape our futures.

Yuma invests in, builds, and incubates computational infrastructure in the Bittensor ecosystem. We are an accelerator for research teams and entrepreneurs seeking a competitive alternative to closed artificial intelligence systems and a trusted partner to institutions exploring Bittensor.

Our Mission

Our mission is to create positive economic and societal change by connecting transformative ideas to decentralized intelligence.

It’s never been more clear that our collective economic and societal future is being radically transformed by rapidly advancing computing capabilities.

 

Yet, the power, development, and deployment of these capabilities, including AI, is already confined to a small handful of gatekeepers intent on building barriers to keep competition at bay, restricting broader access and innovation. 

 

Yuma exists to support and encourage development on Bittensor – an ecosystem that rewards our brightest minds and opens access to advanced computing and intelligence. We support promising teams at critical early stages of development, enabling world changing innovations to get off the ground and ensuring the AI revolution is accessible to the next generation of visionaries shaping our world.

 

Yuma is a subsidiary of DCG, a global investor, builder, and incubator.
