Expanding Partnerships and Strategic Alliances
Since mid-August, CETI AI has been in active talks with multiple family offices, private capital firms, and technology infrastructure groups to fuel the next phase of decentralized compute expansion.
These discussions center around large-scale energy and compute initiatives designed to integrate sustainable data centers and AI infrastructure into the CETI ecosystem. Several advanced negotiations have continued through October, with multiple legal and technical teams performing due diligence.
While the names of these partners remain confidential until finalized, CETI leadership has confirmed that agreements are progressing positively, with several parties exploring joint venture structures that connect renewable power, compute capacity, and decentralized AI billing systems.
The ICF and Technical Breakthroughs
The heart of CETI’s development remains the Intelligent Compute Fabric (ICF) — a system built to manage distributed compute resources through trustless monitoring, billing, and verification.
Throughout September and October, Logris the Bard and Curtis advanced several major components:
-
Proof of Honesty Layer: Ensures compute providers can’t falsify activity or usage reports.
-
Prometheus Monitoring System: Provides live metrics across nodes for performance and reliability tracking.
-
Append-Only Event Store: Enables immutable time-series billing data, allowing CETI to audit every transaction.
The ICF’s next milestone, automated billing and payout validation, is expected to enter MVP testing later this winter. The system will automatically calculate what’s owed to each provider based on verified usage.
To strengthen development, the team also sought additional engineering talent. After Marco’s departure, Logris is working on recruiting a senior Python developer to assist in completing the billing architecture, while Curtis took a well-earned break, his first of the year
Revenue, Advisory, and Ecosystem Growth
In parallel with engineering, CETI has been building revenue pipelines and advisory partnerships to expand adoption.
Tony Evans and Austin Spencer have been spearheading a compute cost-optimization initiative, aimed at helping companies reduce cloud-spend by accessing CETI’s distributed compute network. This program offers potential clients significant savings compared to traditional providers, while encouraging them to stake or hold CETI assets for ecosystem participation.
Additionally, CETI began offering advisory and consulting services under an expanding business division, providing enterprise support for AI integration, tokenization strategy, and decentralized infrastructure migration.
These engagements mark CETI’s evolution beyond being solely a platform, positioning it as a trusted infrastructure partner for AI transformation.
Community Relations and Transparency
CETI’s community remains at the center of its operations. Crystal has continued her role as the bridge between internal teams and supporters, releasing town hall transcripts, managing Telegram and Discord communications, and maintaining consistent transparency as much as she is able amid complex developments.
When a recent wallet transaction sparked community concern, both Crystal and Tony acted quickly to clarify the situation, confirming it was not a team-initiated sale and that steps were taken to reverse the mistake.
Meanwhile, social media efforts have shifted toward educational and technical content, focusing on topics like Kubernetes, decentralized computing, and AI infrastructure — helping audiences understand the foundation CETI is building rather than just market speculation.
Steady Momentum Toward 2026
Even as timelines adjusted and resources stretched, the mission stayed clear:
-
ICF Billing MVP: Targeted for testing by December 2025.
-
ICF V1 Launch: Aiming for early Q1 2026 release.
-
Ecosystem Integration: Expansion into new energy, compute, and advisory verticals.
-
Community Growth: Continued transparency through monthly Town Halls and media updates.
The leadership team remains cautious yet optimistic, balancing technical rigor with long-term strategic positioning. As Austin summarized, “It’s one step at a time, but every step brings us closer to the foundation we’ve been building toward.”
