About Ritual
Founded by co-founders Niraj Pant and Akilesh Potti, Ritual offers an AI coprocessor solution that enables seamless AI integration. The company's AI VM, an open and sovereign execution layer for AI, allows developers to fine-tune, monetize, and perform inference on models using cryptographic schemes across various blockchain networks. Ritual's flagship component, the GMP layer, facilitates seamless interoperability between existing blockchains and the Ritual Superchain, effectively serving as an AI coprocessor for diverse blockchain ecosystems. The company's AI Virtual Machine (VM) not only hosts SPCs but also provides essential infrastructure for optimised execution, including inference engine binaries and vector databases. The company superchain comprises specialised stateful precompiles (SPCs) tailored for diverse classes of arbitrary computation, with a focus on AI models spanning from classical to foundational models.
