March 10, 2025 – Fetch.ai and Functionland (fx.land) are excited to announce a strategic partnership that pioneers a new era of decentralized artificial intelligence. This collaboration integrates Fetch.ai’s ASI-1 Mini (asi1.ai)—the world’s first Web3-native Large Language Model (LLM) optimized for agentic workflows—with Functionland’s NPU-powered decentralized hardware, creating a fully autonomous AI ecosystem that operates entirely at the edge.
By combining ASI-1 Mini’s advanced Mixture of Models and Mixture of Agents architecture with Functionland’s edge computing devices, this partnership eliminates reliance on cloud infrastructure, delivering enterprise-grade AI capabilities with enhanced privacy, efficiency, and user control. The decentralized AI stack enables local AI execution, ensuring complete data ownership and autonomy for users and businesses alike.
ASI-1 Mini is designed to be more hardware efficient than conventional AI models, making it the perfect match for Functionland’s high-performance NPUs. This synergy brings an unprecedented level of performance and accessibility, allowing users to deploy powerful AI agents on decentralized infrastructure—without compromising speed or functionality.
This collaboration represents more than just a technological advancement—it is a paradigm shift in AI accessibility. By eliminating cloud dependencies, Fetch.ai and Functionland enable individuals, enterprises, and developers to fully own and control their AI models and data. This partnership also fosters a shared token economy, ensuring that communities benefit directly from the AI revolution they help drive.
“Our partnership with Fetch.ai represents a fundamental shift in AI deployment. By integrating ASI-1 Mini with our decentralized hardware, we’re empowering users to fully own both their AI and data—eliminating the false choice between powerful AI capabilities and privacy. This is how we democratize access to AI technology.” said Ehsan Shariati, founder of Functionland.
The Fetch.ai and Functionland partnership paves the way for the next wave of decentralized applications (dApps) that are smarter, more autonomous, and deeply integrated with community-driven AI models. This innovation marks a new chapter where AI is no longer confined to centralized entities but is instead a collective resource, owned, operated, and improved by its users.
