The collaboration will give the university’s Takagi Laboratory and its Web3 club (which has more than 250 student members) access to decentralized computing resources for AI research, simulations, and student projects.\n\nTheta Network is a decentralized computing network. Its EdgeCloud platform provides access to distributed GPU capacity through more than 30,000 edge nodes, offering an alternative to traditional cloud infrastructure.\n\nThe partnership includes Professor Toru Takagi and his laboratory, which researches systems using mathematical models that can be processed and simulated by computers. The lab also works on game theory, AI-based automated proving, and the modeling of cellular activity.\n\n*Image: **Magnific*", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/chiba-institute-joins-theta-academic-network", "canonical_source": "https://cryptonews.net/news/other/33293383/", "published_at": "2026-08-13 17:19:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-13 17:50:33.073521+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-research"], "entities": ["Chiba Institute of Technology", "Theta Network", "Theta EdgeCloud", "Takagi Laboratory", "Toru Takagi"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/chiba-institute-joins-theta-academic-network", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/chiba-institute-joins-theta-academic-network.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/chiba-institute-joins-theta-academic-network.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/chiba-institute-joins-theta-academic-network.jsonld"}}
