Running a Gaia Node on nodes.garden

Running a Gaia Node on nodes.garden

What is Gaia?

Gaia is a decentralized AI infrastructure designed to help anyone create, deploy, scale, and monetize their own AI agents - all while promoting sustainability and digital sovereignty.

Unlike traditional AI platforms, Gaia puts control back in your hands. Whether you're an individual expert, a developer or a business, Gaia lets you build AI agents that reflect your unique style, values, knowledge, and domain expertise.

Each Gaia node is an independent, customizable AI agent that can:

  • Provide a web-based chatbot interface (e.g., chat with a Rust expert bot)
  • Offer an OpenAI-compatible API, making it easy to switch from OpenAI with zero friction
  • Be fine-tuned with real-world knowledge (e.g., querying financial filings or medical data)

Gaia nodes aren’t isolated - they’re grouped into Gaia Domains, which share traffic across nodes for load balancing, public discovery, and higher availability. When users send requests to a domain, it automatically routes them to a ready node.

Backed by leading investors like EVM Capital, Mirana Ventures, and Mantle EcoFund, Gaia is building the foundation for a more open, intelligent, and sustainable AI-powered web.
