Antseed launches decentralized AI inference marketplace

Antseed has launched a peer-to-peer marketplace for AI inference, allowing developers to access frontier models at up to 97% less than official API prices by routing requests across hundreds of independent providers instead of centralized gateways. The platform uses a self-hosted local router, reputation-based provider verification, and pay-per-request pricing with no sign-up required. The Antseed Foundation raised $2.4 million in a token funding round led by Spark Capital, with participation from Collider, DCG, North Island Ventures, Reciprocal Ventures, Venice.ai, and Relay Capital. The marketplace has already processed nearly 150 billion tokens across 202 active providers.
