The decentralized AI intelligent network DGrid announced that its decentralized AI model marketplace (DGrid Model Marketplace) is officially online.The marketplace is open to three types of model providers: model developers, model fine-tuners, and model deployers with computing infrastructure capabilities. They can freely list models on the platform, set their own prices, and earn real-time settlement revenue when models are called. For developers, the marketplace provides a unified entry point to discover, compare, and directly call various models through a unified API, without the need to switch between different platforms or connect to multiple interfaces.DGrid stated that the model marketplace is the "supply side" of its network, working in coordination with the AI Gateway (access side) responsible for calls, connecting AI creators and users. Currently, DGrid has aggregated over 200 mainstream models, including Claude, GPT, Gemini, MiniMax, GLM, Kimi, and has more than 15,000 paid users.In terms of quality assurance, the marketplace is supported by DGrid's self-developed Proof of Quality (PoQ) mechanism. PoQ conducts independent, random sampling of model providers through the platform's own benchmark test set and records the verification results on-chain to ensure service quality and pricing transparency—this mechanism does not touch user call data. The core members of the DGrid team have doctoral backgrounds from institutions such as Stony Brook University and have published 4 academic papers related to PoQ.Currently, the DGrid Model Marketplace is officially online. Model providers can apply to join, and developers can also experience one-stop AI model discovery and access services through the platform.
