Gaia Launches Edge OSS – AI Infrastructure Platform
New York, September 24, 2025

Gaia, creator of the open-source infrastructure for building AI agents and decentralized inference, today announced the launch of Edge OSS, a production-ready AI infrastructure platform that enables smartphone manufacturers to deliver private, on-device intelligence without relying on proprietary cloud ecosystems or billion-dollar R&D investments.

Edge OSS marks a pivotal moment for the global mobile industry, providing a clear path toward AI sovereignty at scale. At a time when artificial intelligence is becoming a necessity for device makers, Gaia’s platform levels the playing field enabling mid-tier manufacturers to offer AI features once reserved for trillion-dollar tech giants.

The End of Cloud-Dependent AI

Edge OSS delivers a full-stack infrastructure for on-device, privacy-first AI that operates independently of centralized cloud systems. Unlike traditional AI offerings that rely on app-specific integrations or cloud APIs, Gaia’s platform introduces system-level coordination, enabling AI to operate holistically across applications, user contexts, and hardware resources.

Real-Time Performance

System-level coordination ensures instant AI responses without cloud latency.

Regulatory Compliance

Built-in alignment with GDPR, China’s data localization rules, and EU AI Act.

Data Sovereignty

Complete control over AI operations with local, composable intelligence.

This architecture ensures real-time performance, regulatory compliance, and data sovereignty by design. Edge OSS includes a full suite of developer tools—including a CLI, SDK, and testing framework designed to accelerate AI application development while maintaining full alignment with global regulations.

The platform’s OpenAI-compatible interfaces make it easy for developers to integrate existing models, while Gaia’s custom MCP protocol standardizes communication between AI agents, services, and device hardware. The result is an ecosystem where intelligence is local, composable, and resilient.

Solving for AI Access

Market Landscape:
  • 70% of smartphones will require AI capabilities by 2028
  • Edge AI market will exceed $66 billion by 2030
  • 60% of smartphone buyers now prioritize AI features in purchase decisions
  • Over 800 million smartphones shipped annually by mid-tier vendors

The rapid acceleration of AI in smartphones is exposing a harsh reality: only a small number of manufacturers have the capital and talent to build proprietary AI infrastructure. Companies like Apple and Samsung can spend upwards of $25 billion annually on R&D, while most manufacturers operate with a fraction of those resources.

Edge OSS breaks this cycle by offering an economically viable alternative. Manufacturers can now deploy flagship-level intelligence without years of custom development or massive upfront investments. By removing the technical and economic barriers to AI, Gaia empowers the next generation of device makers to join the AI era with full sovereignty.

“We’ve solved the operational challenge that’s kept mid-tier manufacturers out of the AI race: how do you scale intelligent features across hundreds of millions of devices without building your own cloud infrastructure? Edge OSS provides production-ready AI sovereignty that scales from pilot to platform in months, not years.”
— Shashank Sripada, Co-founder & COO of Gaia

Empowering the Future of AI and Web3

Beyond mobile AI, Edge OSS is designed with the next wave of the internet in mind—where intelligence is decentralized, user-owned, and interoperable. As Web3 technologies gain traction, Edge OSS provides the infrastructure to support decentralized identity, user-owned AI agents, and secure, trustless coordination between applications and devices.

By enabling AI to run locally and securely, the platform aligns with the fundamental values of Web3: transparency, autonomy, and decentralization. Gaia is already working with partners across decentralized storage, identity, and inference to build an AI sovereignty stack that spans devices, networks, and dApps.

This future-proof design makes Edge OSS not just a response to today’s AI needs, but a long-term investment in how intelligence will be built, distributed, and governed in a post-cloud world.

Samsung Electronics Co. announced plans to hold its latest launch event on July 9, when the company is expected to introduce new foldable smartphones and other Galaxy devices.

The Galaxy Unpacked summer event in Brooklyn, New York, starting at 10 a.m. local time, aims to debut the company’s latest breakthroughs in foldable smartphones and artificial intelligence technology.

The new Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 will focus attention. These devices will bring a better design, features, and overall user experience to help the company remain dominant in the foldable phone market.

The external display on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also said to be larger and more functional when the phone is closed. This could make it more friendly to those who prioritize a handset that doesn’t require them to pick up the phone without being as aggressive in the design stakes as Motorola’s Razr Ultra.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is believed to follow the firm’s lead and further refine its vision for a smartphone-tablet crossover. The Fold 7 is likely to address some of the problems with foldables, including thinness, the size of the bezels, and durability.

Samsung is confident its relentless technology evolution and leadership will grow foldable devices into a more mainstream product. The company faces fierce competition, especially from Chinese brands like Huawei, Honor, and Oppo, which have aggressively expanded their foldable offerings.

Samsung drives AI transformation in mobile devices

Aside from the hardware, Samsung is also working hard on AI. Among the arsenal we expect the company to unveil is its Galaxy AI suite, an array of AI-powered tools designed to change how consumers interact with their devices. From clever photo editing and real-time translation to productivity gains and better search, Galaxy AI is set to play a significant role in next month’s event.

According to Bloomberg, Samsung is reportedly nearing a deal to put Perplexity’s AI assistant on future Galaxy devices as a pre-installed replacement or supplement to Google Assistant on certain devices in certain markets. The move could represent a significant change in Samsung’s AI strategy, offering it an even larger degree of control over the user experience while reducing the reliance on Google’s ecosystem.

AI integration is coming as Samsung and other tech giants are racing to stay ahead with the increasing demand for smart, context-aware tools. AI has emerged as a critical battlefield in mobile, and Samsung seems set to make a bigger push into that field.

Rivals challenge Samsung’s foldable dominance

Samsung may be the leading player in the global foldable market, but the war has just begun. Some Chinese handset makers have been even more aggressive; Honor unveiled an extra-thin foldable, the Magic V5, that falls to a skinflinty 8.8 millimeters when collapsed for those who need the power but want to look stylish.

In the United States, Google is Samsung’s closest competitor in the world of foldables. Later this summer, the tech giant is also expected to unveil the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, a new and sorely needed challenger to Samsung’s dominance. Google has never approached Samsung’s scale in this area, but its Android-AI story has some unique charm for certain users.

Apple, Samsung’s largest smartphone competitor worldwide, has not released a foldable device. However, insiders indicate that Apple is secretly developing its own foldable iPhone for a possible release by 2026.

Apple’s foray into foldables would turn the market on its head and maybe push foldable phones towards becoming a mass-market product.
