Stanford selects Theta EdgeCloud for AI research
Theta appears to be excited after signing Sandford's Engineering AI research lab
Theta's Mitch Liu is an alum of Stanford!
It's always cool to leverage the Alum network to expand bidirectionally. Wondering, how does Theta benefit from this partnership? Asking as Theta price took a beating last week even amid this signing announcement? How is Theta paid for use of shared AI resources? I have been writing about these EdgeCloud partnerships for just over a year they are supposed to pay with Theta Fuel (TFUEL) but I have not seen the price go up, just down. Perhaps I am looking at price action instead of another indicator? Not sure what that would be at this point.
Who is the Stanford's AI focal?
Ellen Vitercik whose is an assistant professor and has a very impressive background. Read more about her below.
What is Ellen's Background?
Yikes, she is super talented, she was a Fellow at UC Berkley, prior to that she earned her PHD at Carnegie Mellon University.
What are the Stanford AI objectives for Theta Partnership?
The overall goal is to support its AI research in discrete optimization and algorithmic reasoning. This will take place by leveraging Theta's EdgeCloud decentralized GPU provides access to scalable, high-performance computing power at reasonable costs, which can accelerate AI model training and research. Below are a few sample use cases.
- AI-Driven Economic Decision-Making — Studying the role of AI in pricing, targeted marketing, auctions, and profit-maximization models.
- Algorithmic Content Selection — Investigating the impact of AI-driven content selection on user engagement and decision-making.
- Clustering and Dataset Size Generalization — Exploring machine learning approaches to improve clustering algorithm selection across different dataset sizes.
- LLMs for Optimization — Researching how large language models can improve cutting plane separator configuration and equivalence checking of optimization formulations.
Summary
Theta scored another Top Tier US University by signing Stanford University, continue signing Top Tier US Universities and the rest will follow. Stanford benefits by rapidly advancing AI research. I still have some questions as to when Theta and TFUEL prices will rise based upon these partnerships and when we will see Top Tier signings coming from the EU region.
