The Flaw in the Cloud
Centralised AI infrastructure means one company sees every request, controls pricing, and holds your data. ZiB is the alternative.
$400B+
The projected cloud AI infrastructure market by 2028 — almost entirely controlled by three companies. That's not infrastructure. That's a monopoly with an API.
The centralised model is broken for AI:
AI Vendor Lock-in
Your data, your usage, your pricing — all controlled by the same company that can cut you off tomorrow.
Inference Surveillance
Every request you send to a centralised AI provider is logged, profiled, and owned by them. Your data trains their next model.
Data Breaches
Single points of failure that attackers can — and do — target. One breach exposes everything.
Outages
When AWS goes down, everything goes down. Centralised architecture makes downtime everyone's problem.
AI That Runs
Inside the Network
Run AI analysis directly on your stored, encrypted video — speech, vision, GARM brand-safety scoring and IAB Content Taxonomy categorisation. All on the network. Never seen by a third party.
Transcription & Captions
Full transcripts with timestamps, speaking pace, and confidence scores — powered by on-device speech recognition. Captions are generated automatically and play directly on your video stream.
Scene & Visual Analysis
Per-keyframe emotion, body language, brand detection, thumbnail scoring, and production quality — analysed by on-device vision models running directly on the node. No cloud. No third party.
One Output File Per Video
One canonical encrypted output per video. Clip suggestions with vertical-crop scores, IAB taxonomy, GARM brand safety, and thumbnail rankings — plus YouTube-ready chapter timestamps you can paste straight into your description.
Everything AI applications need.
Owned by no one. Available to everyone.
No vendor in the loop. Every capability runs on hardware you own, behind keys only you hold — with no central point to breach, throttle, or shut down.
Unbreakable Security
Files are encrypted on your device before they leave it, then split into redundant pieces across multiple nodes. Operators only see anonymous fragments — never your filenames, folders, or content — and all internal traffic runs on a private network sealed off from the public internet.
Self-Healing Network
Continuous health checks detect offline nodes within seconds. Missing pieces are automatically rebuilt until full redundancy is restored.
Video Streaming
Hardware-accelerated HLS/DASH encoding with adaptive quality. Segments are encrypted and delivered directly from nodes — no CDN middleman in the data path.
Developer SDK
S3-compatible API with AWS SigV4, a browser JS SDK with credentialless uploads, and a single API call for encoding and AI compute. Drop in ZiB wherever you use S3 today.
Direct Ingest from Your Node
PIN-pair the desktop app to your account and drop files straight in. Your node encrypts, splits, and encodes them locally — no browser upload, no round-trip through any cloud. Same pipeline, no upload bandwidth costs. Super fast.
Blazing-Fast Speeds
Files are retrieved in parallel from the nearest nodes, ensuring faster download and upload speeds compared to traditional centralised services.
Drop-in S3.
Built for the Web.
ZiB is S3-compatible out of the box. Point your existing AWS SDK at our endpoint and it just works. For browser apps, the ZiBStorage JS SDK handles encryption and multipart uploads with a single call.
S3-Compatible API
AWS SigV4 auth, presigned URLs, automatic multipart upload chunking
No Credentials in the Browser
Server calls to initiate the upload — SDK handles the security
// Encrypt + upload — files are encrypted on
// your device before any bytes reach a node
const { file_id, cdn_url } = await
ZiBStorage.uploadDirect(file, registration);
// One call: HLS/DASH encode + transcription
// + Vision AI sidecar (GARM, IAB, chapters)
await zib.startEncoding(file_id, {
transcription: 'recommended',
vision: 'standard',
});
// Subscribe — webhooks push progress
// and final sidecar to your endpoint
// POST https://you.example.com/zib-hook
// event: encoding.progress | sidecar.ready

How We Stack Up
The future is Deepin. We didn't build a better cloud — we reinvented storage and compute.
