Our Mission:
Intelligence for All

AETHER was founded with a single belief: that powerful AI should be accessible, transparent, and trustworthy. We're building the infrastructure for autonomous intelligence.

From a garage to
a global movement

In 2022, three engineers — frustrated by closed, expensive, and opaque AI platforms — started building AETHER. What began as an open-source experiment quickly grew into a mission-driven company serving thousands of teams worldwide.

Today, AETHER processes over 14 million API requests daily, powers mission-critical workflows in 120+ countries, and remains committed to our founding values: openness, performance, and putting users first.
