AI infrastructure company Infinity just closed a $15 million funding round at a $100 million valuation, pulling in capital from Touring Capital, Principal VC, and individual researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic.

Touring Capital led the round alongside Principal VC. The participation of individual researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic adds a layer of credibility that institutional money alone can’t buy. These are people who understand, at a granular level, where the bottlenecks in AI compute actually exist.

The company focuses on AI infrastructure solutions. No connections to blockchain, crypto assets, or tokens were reported.

Why crypto investors should pay attention

Decentralized compute has become one of crypto’s most compelling narratives. Projects like Render Network, Akash Network, and io.net are all attempting to build distributed GPU marketplaces that could theoretically serve the same demand Infinity is targeting.
