Running compute jobs for AI doesn’t have to be complicated

When you’re building AI, you need a setup that brings compute, privacy, and algorithms in a seamless manner

That’s exactly what the Ocean VS
@Code
extension offers. You can run private compute jobs directly from your IDE, while Ocean Nodes handle the backend compute power for you. No extra setup

With just a few clicks, you’re ready to build, train, and scale your models, right where you code.

Hey, Oceaners! We're launching the Annotators Hub

What is it, you might ask?

It's a community-driven initiative where you guys take on structured challenges to review, evaluate, and ultimately create the high-quality datasets that actually train AI for real-world use

First challenge: LiteracyForge Quest

-Read short English passages
-Answer comprehension questions
-Rate text + question difficulty & quality

Why it matters:
Your human reasoning = the key ingredient missing from today’s AI.
By contributing, you’ll help create adaptive tutors + better literacy tools for millions of learners worldwide.

🗓 Aug 28 – Sep 18, 2025
💰 $10,000 USDC prize pool
⚡️ Platforms:
@lunor_ai
(profiles + leaderboard) + http://Prodi.gy (tasks)

Your share of the prize depends on your valid contributions

Example: if all participants score 10,000 points total, and you contribute 500 points, you’ll earn $500 USDC

AI without privacy is as harmful as data without protection

Ocean tech can fix both the compute & data side

What makes an AI system truly smart, the algorithm or the data it learns from? It's the data

High-quality data originates from annotation, which takes raw text, images, and signals and transforms them into structured knowledge, thereby driving accuracy, reliability, and adaptability

Simply put, intelligence starts with the annotation of data

You want to train smarter AI models without burning through GPUs?

Here’s how:

With the Ocean VS @code
extension, you can soon run private compute jobs directly inside your editor, no setup, no servers to manage. Just open your algorithm file, hit run, and let serverless globalized compute handle the rest

Explore how it’ll be as simple as code -> run -> results, with no infrastructure headaches and pay-as-you-go flexibility:

AI is scaling faster than hardware can keep up.

By 2030, training runs will be 10,000× bigger than today, but power limits, GPU shortages, and latency are already slowing things down

Ocean Nodes will soon enable scaling by converting any high-performance GPU device into a compute node for AI training. With on-demand GPU access, you get instant, flexible compute for every AI need, without the hassle of managing infrastructure
