At the heart of this investment is Ryze Labs’ core thesis that the future of AI and crypto will be defined by the convergence of hardware and software. As AI agents become increasingly autonomous and persistent, they will require infrastructure that’s not only decentralized, but also physically distributed and able to run locally on user-owned devices, outside of the cloud. EdgeX Labs embodies this vision, offering a decentralized computing layer optimized for multi-agent coordination, local inference, and hardware-level privacy.
Ryze Labs’ core thesis has also informed its incubation of Amiko, in collaboration with EdgeX Labs, which is a new personal AI platform developed through its Ryze Labs Launchpad. Amiko is what Ryze Labs calls an orchestration layer, a combination of edge-based software and dedicated hardware designed to run and coordinate a team of emotionally intelligent and highly personalized AI agents.
“This investment from Ryze Labs marks a solid step forward in our journey within the global edge computing landscape. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on technological innovation, expand our ecosystem partnerships, and provide robust infrastructure support for the widespread adoption and development of AI. We look forward to collaborating with Ryze Labs and other partners to jointly pioneer the future of intelligent infrastructure, specifically bringing the personal AI companion Amiko to market,” said Davy Wang, Founder of EdgeX Labs.
EdgeX Labs, founded by seasoned executives and engineers from Xiaomi, Google, Amazon, Alibaba Cloud, and Tencent, has already deployed over 10,000 live nodes globally. Its custom EdgeX OS enables real-time orchestration of AI agents at the edge, while active partnerships with GCP, MTK Edge, and ROAM position it at the forefront of the edge AI ecosystem.
“At Ryze Labs, we’ve long believed the future of AI won’t just live in the cloud but will live with us,” said Matthew Graham, Managing Partner at Ryze Labs. “EdgeX Labs is building the decentralized infrastructure to power that future, and Amiko is how we bring it to life as a persistent, emotionally aware companion running locally on your own device.”
