The partnership with FlyQuest comes as the Theta Labs team announced an update to its EdgeCloud, a hybrid computing platform for artificial intelligence, video and rendering apps. EdgeCloud uses powerful cloud-based graphics processing units, including the latest GPUs from Nvidia, and partners with Google Cloud and other industry giants.
In the latest update, Theta Network said the platform now supports AI mobile browsers and a video dashboard. EdgeCloud is now also optimized for both iOS and Android, with developers having access to features such as model training, agentic AI, analytics and payments.
Theta Labs unveiled EdgeCloud in May 2024 and has seen its adoption skyrocket in recent months.
Some of the momentum has occurred within the ecosystems of academia and industry, with Theta attracting partnerships from leading institutions such as Seoul National University, University of Oregon and most recently Ajou University. These institutions use the hybrid cloud-GPU infrastructure for AI research.
Theta EdgeCloud supports Theta Fuel (TFUEL), fiat and USDC payments.
