FAR Labs introduced its decentralized AI inference network, FAR AI, at an invite-only gathering in Dubai on December 3, held alongside Binance Blockchain Week. The event, titled Proof of Inference: DePIN & AI Builders Night, marked the company’s first public appearance and showcased its vision for a distributed compute layer designed to manage large-scale artificial intelligence workloads without relying on traditional cloud giants.
During the presentation, Ilman Shazhaev, the founder and CEO of Dizzaract, outlined how FAR AI connects a distributed network of GPUs into a unified computation layer capable of supporting live, performance-sensitive AI tasks. He suggested that the system is meant to serve as an alternative to major centralized infrastructure providers, which often come with high costs and scalability limits that developers face when deploying advanced AI applications. The audience, which consisted of investors, fund managers, exchange leaders, and infrastructure developers, was briefed on how the architecture aims to change the economics and accessibility of compute resources.
FAR AI is built on what the team refers to as an anti-whale structure, which is described as a framework intended to prevent concentration of power within the network. The approach is designed to offer stake-free security, ensure fair access for participants, and embody genuine decentralization. According to the presentation, the ultimate objective is to enable developers to operate AI inference at scale without relying on a single point of control. Shazhaev also indicated that the company plans to introduce token buybacks and burns beginning in 2026, signaling a long-term strategy intended to bolster utility within the project’s economic model.
Throughout the event, FAR Labs highlighted its intention to bridge AI, gaming, and blockchain infrastructure by addressing what it views as shared scalability challenges across these sectors. Leadership at the company suggested that all three industries struggle with heavy reliance on centralized systems that create operational chokepoints, and that FAR AI is engineered to offer a decentralized alternative capable of supporting the next era of application development. The launch of the company’s new website coincided with the gathering, and the team reported noticeable interest from fund representatives and exchange operators in attendance.
FAR Labs functions as the deep-tech arm of Dizzaract, recognized as the largest gaming studio in the Middle East and North Africa region. Dizzaract, backed by the Abu Dhabi government, employs more than 80 specialists across 25 countries. Its portfolio includes Farcana, a third-person shooter that incorporates digital ownership features, and GAMED, an AI-driven identity framework for players. FAR Labs evolved from the studio’s experience with adaptive AI systems and digital economies, shifting its focus toward decentralized compute and inference layers intended for broader industry use.
The Dubai event formed part of FAR Labs’ broader presence at several major blockchain conferences throughout December. The company’s regional lineup includes participation in Bitcoin MENA, Abu Dhabi Finance Week, Global Blockchain Show, and Solana Breakpoint 2025. Collectively, these engagements are positioned to introduce the FAR AI network to a wider audience of developers, infrastructure operators, and investors exploring the intersection of decentralized technologies and artificial intelligence.
