Is Qubic One of the World’s Top 10 Most Powerful Supercomputers?  (and Decentralized)

Did you know that first estimates indeed show that  Qubic could be one of the fastest supercomputers on the planet?

But here's the twist: unlike traditional supercomputers controlled by governments or massive tech corporations, Qubic is built on a completely different foundation — one rooted in decentralization, accessibility, and public good.

Rethinking Supercomputing From the Ground Up

Let’s be clear about what Qubic is not:

  • It is not controlled by a single entity.

  • It is not run by a trillion-dollar company.

  • It doesn’t rely on massive, energy-intensive data centers.

  • It is not hidden behind closed systems or proprietary walls.

Instead, Qubic is open and community-powered. It exists as a decentralized network, contributed to and governed by its users — including researchers, institutions, developers, and individuals who believe AI should serve society, not just private interests.

Certified Computational Power

To substantiate its claims, Qubic engaged CertiK — a leading blockchain and protocol auditor — to verify its performance. And we will update with the results soon!

Meanwhile, according to early estimates, Qubic reached 130.12 PFlops (petaflops), making it the 6th fastest computer in the world, metrics aligned with the Top500 supercomputer rankings, and using a similar FP64 metric to compare raw computation without measuring connectivity speed.

CertiK had already validated Qubic as the fastest blockchain ever verified on mainnet, reaching 15.5 million transactions per second (TPS).

But raw power is only part of the story. Qubic’s real innovation lies in how that power is applied.

From Proof-of-Work to Useful Proof-of-Work (uPoW)

Traditional proof-of-work systems, like Bitcoin, incentivize energy-hungry mining for computations that serve no real-world function.

Qubic takes a different route with Useful Proof-of-Work (uPoW).

Key differences:

  • Qubic leverages everyday equipment — standard CPUs and GPUs — not specialized ASIC miners;

  • It is open to participation by anyone, not just industrial-scale operations;

  • It supports tasks with meaningful output — from AI model training to scientific computation; and

  • Its design minimizes energy consumption and environmental impact.

This model democratizes access and promotes a more efficient use of computational resources.

Bio-Inspired AI: Aigarth

At the core of Qubic’s AI system is Aigarth, the platform where models are trained and developed.

Qubic doesn’t rely on large language models alone. Its approach to artificial general intelligence (AGI) draws inspiration from neuroscience, not just statistics.

While conventional AI models predict the next word using massive datasets and parameter tuning, Qubic’s systems:

  • Learn through reinforcement, much like the brain strengthens synaptic pathways.

  • Form predictive models of the world based on continuous input and feedback.

  • Solve problems independently, evolving over time.

This bio-inspired methodology reflects how intelligence arises in nature — not as a function of data size, but of adaptive learning.

A Dual Mission: Build AGI and Build It Responsibly

Qubic’s long-term vision is grounded in two core goals:

  1. To develop true AGI, modeled on natural intelligence, not artificial mimicry.

  2. To empower a global, decentralized community to guide and govern this development with ethical principles.

That includes institutions, researchers, and developers aligned around openness, transparency, sustainability, and universal access.

AGI for Good

As part of this commitment, Qubic has launched AGI for Good — a movement to ensure that artificial intelligence creates tangible value for society rather than extractive or exploitative outcomes.

This includes:

  • Making AI models and tools accessible to all.

  • Supporting projects with social and scientific impact.

  • Ensuring ethical safeguards are built in from day one.

  • Creating educational and participatory pathways for global communities.
