Theta Labs Launches EdgeCloud for Mobile, Enabling AI-Powered Video Detection

Theta Labs, the development team behind the entertainment-focused blockchain project Theta Network, has launched a mobile version of EdgeCloud, allowing Android users to contribute spare GPU power to the Theta EdgeCloud network and earn TFUEL tokens. The team said: "The app is now available on Google Play, and users can provide idle resources to support AI research in the media, healthcare, and finance sectors. Using DePIN, Theta EdgeCloud reduces the cost of GPU-intensive tasks by more than 50% compared to traditional cloud providers, providing scalable, decentralized AI model training and inference services." The official blog wrote: "For the first time, the Theta team has implemented a video object detection AI model (VOD_AI) running on consumer-grade Android mobile devices, providing real computing at the edge and achieving high scalability and coverage. VOD_AI is a computer vision technology that uses artificial intelligence to analyze video frames to identify objects by scanning video frames, looking for potential objects, and drawing bounding boxes around them. This process is similar to how the human visual cortex works."
