    Together AI and Pearl Research Labs Team Up to Reduce the Cost of AI Inference

    Together AI has partnered with Pearl Research Labs to integrate blockchain technology into AI inference costs. This collaboration introduces a new inference endpoint for the Gemma-4-31B-it-pearl model, offering a discount of over 25% by offsetting costs with cryptocurrency emissions from the Pearl Network. The Pearl Network uses a Proof of Useful Work mechanism, where GPU computations for AI tasks simultaneously generate a cryptocurrency called PRL, aiming to fundamentally alter the economics of AI by reducing the price per token.
