Gaianet_AI——@Gaianet_AI: An AI project that doesn't look like an "AI project", embedding AI Agent into the Galaxy S25 Edge.
Gaia launched the Gaia AI Phone at KBW 2025.
I thought it was similar to the previous phone from sol, at most just another phone for Web3 applications. However, after taking a closer look, I found that this project actually has some ideas. They directly integrated decentralized AI Agents into top-notch hardware.
This is quite interesting.
👉Currently, this phone is being sold on their sales page. Those who are interested can go take a look (
Here are some configurations to take a look at, I think they are still awesome top-tier high-end setups:
Model: Galaxy S25 Edge, top-tier hardware, can be said to be a type among Android flagships.
Price: $1,399 USD (approximately HK$10,912 / ₩1.95M KRW), which also includes a KBW ticket.
The price is a bit expensive compared to SOL's mobile.
Currently, the region is limited to Hong Kong and South Korea: The first batch is limited to 1000 units.
Ahem, back to the point, let's first talk about the project itself:
Project positioning:
GaiaNet is a decentralized AI infrastructure project that allows users to run and host their own AI Agents on distributed nodes. Its core concept is edge-first technology, which means performing complex AI reasoning on local devices (such as mobile phones, PCs, IoT, etc.) instead of relying on centralized cloud services. This not only protects data privacy but also enables everyone to own and customize their own digital avatars.
Gaia has established partnerships with EigenLayer, Roam, Recall, Pudgy Penguins, etc., with application scenarios covering educational assistants, trading assistants, customer service agents, and personal AI assistants.
The Gaia AI Phone is not an ordinary smart device; it is the world's first consumer-grade terminal that allows users to use and run decentralized AI Agents.
The background of project financing is also very strong:
GaiaNet has completed two rounds of financing: in May 2024, it raised $10 million in a seed round, with investors including Mirana, Mantle, Republic, and others; in July 2025, it secured another $20 million in Series A funding, participated by well-known institutions such as SIG, Mirana, Amber, Outlier, and others, for a total financing of nearly $30 million.
In my opinion, this launch doesn't seem like a mobile phone.
Compared to past Web3 phones, most only had wallets or application ecosystems attached to the hardware. Gaia, through edge-first technology, enables complex reasoning to be done directly on the device. This means users can truly have an AI Agent running on their own phones, rather than relying on remote servers.
The official account has also clearly stated on Twitter.
During KBW 2025, users will be able to experience a live demonstration of the Gaia Phone, featuring a decentralized AI Agent driven by edge-first technology.
Although I wasn't on site, from the public information and participants' sharing, the focus of the demonstration was to intuitively convey the feasibility of AI local inference on mobile phones. Community feedback also suggests that the Gaia Phone is more convincing in terms of practicality compared to past Web3 phones.
Speaking of this, there will definitely be someone who wants to argue that this is just a mobile phone embedded with AI in a web3 environment. So let me break it down for you: what are the advantages and differences of the Gaia Phone compared to similar products?
There have already been some Web3 phones on the market, but most of the problems are quite obvious: either the hardware is lacking, or they simply pack a wallet and dApps into a low-end device.
I will list the advantages and differences of Gaia Phone for you to take a look.
Hardware top configuration: Galaxy S25 Edge, which is itself a flagship device.
AI Agent Local Operation: Not just a slogan, but truly operational.
I am very optimistic about this project for web3 hardware type projects.
because what I see through Gaia is
AI is not just a tool provided by centralized services, but can become a digital avatar that every user possesses.
This transformation is not just an upgrade of hardware, but rather a new narrative - users no longer rely on the intelligence provided by others, but truly possess their own AI.
