We had a really great time at @RaiseSummit in Paris last week, and we're genuinely excited by the speed and scale at which this industry is moving. Having been to a few events, the quality of the speakers was especially impressive.
The need for compute has never been greater!
There is so much happening in the AI space at the moment that when we were invited to @RaiseSummit in Paris this week, we knew we had to attend. Two days of really insightful conversations and talks with some of AI's leaders. 🧠🇫🇷
Is there any better way to spend your time? 😊
The entire AI ecosystem is coming to Paris this week, and this time, it's their words, not ours 🇫🇷
Over the past few days, the people building the frontier have been telling their own platform exactly where they'll be. A snapshot:

Today we are launching our Gaming Services vertical with AI Characters, a new product that lets developers add AI powered NPCs to their games.
Give characters a personality, a background, goals, and a voice, then let players talk to them and watch them respond. 🎮
Read more about it in the blog below. We want to hear from all of you about what you are building, so tag us or send us an email and let us know all the great stuff you are making. Let's build together.
Some things don't need to be complicated. GPU compute is one of them. Pay only for what you use, nothing more.

Excited to share that @Theta_Network’s joint research with Prof. Xiao @ZhenXiaoCornell’s team is being presented this week at IEEE/IFIP DSN 2026 in Charlotte, USA! 🎉

Real customers pay for real compute. Community operators get paid in TFUEL. THETA stakers are the ones earning that TFUEL.
When EdgeCloud grows, it benefits the entire network & community.
The conversion mechanism is live, customers are already on EdgeCloud, and operators are already being paid. And we’re growing.
We wrote up the full mechanics behind it here 👇
AI has never been more focused on inference. Training happens once but inference is what runs for the lifetime of a model.
That ongoing demand is what Theta was built for. 🧵
Theta runs two tokens with one job each.
THETA is staked to secure the network, and stakers earn TFuel as a reward.
TFuel is the working token, used for every job and every payment on EdgeCloud.
More compute through EdgeCloud means more TFuel changing hands to pay for it.
When a customer pays in fiat or stablecoins, that revenue is converted to TFuel to pay the community operators who did the work.
This isn't a future plan. It runs today, and it scales with how much compute EdgeCloud actually handles.
Customers are already running real inference jobs on EdgeCloud, with demand for our GPU network at record highs.
They pay how any business pays, in fiat or stablecoins. They don't think about the infrastructure stack underneath. They just need reliable compute, and we offer it.
Unlike training, inference doesn't need the same tightly coupled hardware that training does. It parallelises cleanly across independent machines.
Theta’s community of consumer grade GPUs handle this kind of work well, and they're already distributed across the world & at the
