Axe Compute Rebrands and Expands Into High-Performance AI Infrastructure
New York, December 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Predictive Oncology Inc. has rebranded as Axe Compute Inc. (NASDAQ: AGPU) and is set to expand into the high-performance AI infrastructure market. This strategic move reflects the company’s recognition of the increasing demand for scalable compute capacity across various enterprise AI workloads.
Addressing the AI Infrastructure Challenge
Axe Compute's decision to shift focus stems from its observation that the primary bottleneck in AI advancement is infrastructure, not algorithms. While the industry remains fixated on improving model capabilities, Axe Compute emphasizes that enterprises face urgent challenges in obtaining sufficient compute resources necessary for training and executing AI models.
The Infrastructure Gap in AI
To bridge this gap, Axe Compute plans to leverage its ATH on the Aethir network, effectively securing GPU capacity to fulfill growing computational demands. Currently, GPU procurement timelines have extended to 40-52 weeks due to capacity constraints encountered by centralized cloud providers, resulting in multi-month deployment queues. This comes amidst predictions that global enterprise spending on AI cloud services will surpass $400 billion in 2025, with demand significantly outpacing supply.
Axe Compute’s Operating Model
Positioning itself as an active infrastructure player, Axe Compute plans to acquire rights to digital assets linked to AI infrastructure, starting with capacity on the Aethir network. The company intends to deploy these assets under service contracts with enterprise clients, thereby generating revenue through token rewards as well as the margin between infrastructure procurement and enterprise billing rates.
It is essential to note that Axe Compute operates independently from Aethir, which manages the underlying network. Axe Compute aims to provide a reliable means for enterprises to access guaranteed capacity and service-level agreements, thereby adhering to traditional corporate and regulatory requirements.
Infrastructure as an Enabler for AI Development
Axe Compute believes that advances in AI models hinge on having the proper infrastructure for experimentation and deployment. Breakthroughs in technology require adequate computational resources, which can be inhibited by lengthy wait times and inadequate supply. By utilizing the Aethir network, Axe Compute plans to fill a critical gap in the market, offering dedicated GPU capacity when other resources are constrained.
This approach positions Axe Compute uniquely between hyperscalers and model developers, focusing on providing tailored solutions rather than competing on service variety or model performance. This model emphasizes the importance of decentralized computing as a foundational component of enterprise AI infrastructure.
Current State and Future Outlook
Axe Compute is optimistic about sourcing its infrastructure competitively and delivering reliable, high-capacity compute access via the Aethir network. The company anticipates demonstrating the scalability of its infrastructure model as deployments roll out and its enterprise client base grows.
In addition to its venture into high-performance AI infrastructure, Axe Compute will continue its AI-driven drug discovery operations and may explore expansions into other digital asset categories as its business strategy evolves.
