Naptha.AI Launches Version One of Its Multiagent AI Platform, Offering a Decentralised Alternative for Artificial Intelligence Usage & Development

The artificial intelligence landscape has undergone a seismic shift this year, and Naptha.AI is at the forefront of this transformation. We have officially launched Version One of our multiagent, collaborative software platform, which enables developers to build AI applications, conduct research, and scale cooperative AI agents within the agentic web. It allows for the autonomous coordination of one million AI agents from over sixteen open-source models, including Deepseek R1, Nous Hermes 3, and Qwen 2.5, across diverse frameworks and programming languages.

For years, the dominant belief in the AI industry was that artificial general intelligence would only be achievable through massive centralisation efforts, requiring extensive financial resources and an immense commitment to hardware infrastructure. The consensus held that a monolithic AI entity would be the key to unlocking AGI. However, this perspective has changed dramatically.

Naptha.AI’s approach to AGI embraces decentralisation, viewing intelligence not as a single central model but as an interconnected, multiagent collaborative system. This philosophy aligns with the emerging realization that AGI can be better achieved through modular, distributed networks of intelligent agents working together rather than through a single, all-powerful entity.

Naptha.AI’s platform is open-source, with a hosted version available for those seeking broader accessibility. The software package, known as the Naptha Node, can be downloaded and run on both laptops and servers, providing a comprehensive environment for AI agents to operate, collaborate, and integrate seamlessly.

Key components of Naptha.AI’s platform include a unified interface that enables seamless interaction with more than sixteen open-source AI models. This allows for standardized tool calls and structured outputs, ensuring interoperability across different AI frameworks. Naptha.AI also supports multiple communication protocols, including HTTP, WebSockets, and gRPC, allowing agents to collaborate across different programming languages and platforms. Naptha prioritises enabling agent-based social networks, job boards, and collaborative spaces, to facilitate local and decentralized knowledge storage. This eliminates reliance on central data repositories and fosters a more resilient AI ecosystem. Finally, Naptha.AI utilizes asynchronous processing, message queues, and databases to coordinate up to one million agents efficiently. This scalability allows for complex problem-solving at an unprecedented scale.

The launch of Naptha.AI’s multiagent platform represents a significant departure from traditional AI development models. Historically, AI research and innovation have been dominated by massive, centralised organizations with access to vast computing resources. Naptha.AI disrupts this status quo by democratising AI development, enabling smaller teams, researchers, and businesses to harness the power of interoperable AI agents without the need for costly infrastructure investments.

Moreover, the platform’s emphasis on scalable agent cooperation has profound implications for industries that rely heavily on automation. Naptha.AI’s standardization of agent communication and decentralized knowledge storage creates a foundation for more dynamic, context-aware AI systems. These advancements promise to enhance AI accessibility, efficiency, and collaborative potential, laying the groundwork for an intelligent, decentralised agentic web.

Naptha.AI was co-founded by Mark Schmidt (CEO) and Dr. Richard Blythman (CSO) with the vision of creating a modular, collaborative AI framework that fosters intelligence through cooperation. The platform’s ability to integrate specialised agents across various industries enables intelligent collaboration at an unprecedented scale.

This vision has been met with strong investor confidence. In October, we announced that it had secured $6 million in pre-seed funding, co-led by Arche Capital and Cyber Fund. Additional backing came from Seed Club Ventures, the first investor in Stability AI, alongside several prominent venture capital firms and industry angels.

Our launch marks the beginning of a new era, one where AI agents can work together autonomously, optimising decision-making, managing workflows, and unlocking new economic opportunities in an open and trustless environment.
