Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) announced that it has changed its name to Axe Compute Inc., with its common stock to begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol AGPU on December 12, 2025.
Axe Compute will continue to operate its AI-driven drug discovery business and expand its business into high-performance enterprise AI infrastructure, addressing rising global demand for predictable, scalable compute capacity across enterprise AI workloads.
The decision reflects Axe Compute’s fundamental observation about the current AI landscape: the bottleneck to AI progress is increasingly infrastructure, not algorithms. While attention concentrates on model capabilities and benchmark performance, Axe Compute believes the enterprises building AI applications face a more immediate problem—access to the compute required to train and run those models at all.

Axe Compute believes it will be able to utilize its ATH strategic compute reserve and its agreement with Aethir to secure GPU capacity and services on the Aethir network to support compute demand.
GPU procurement timelines have extended to 40-52 weeks for high-end hardware as centralized cloud providers face capacity constraints that create multi-month deployment queues. Meanwhile, global enterprise spending on AI cloud services is projected to exceed $400 billion in 2025, with demand continuing to outpace supply.
Axe Compute will operate as an active infrastructure company rather than a passive treasury. The distinction matters: Axe Compute will acquire digital assets tied to AI infrastructure—beginning with capacity on the Aethir network—and deploy those assets to serve enterprise clients under service contracts.
Axe Compute believes it will be able to derive revenue from token rewards and the margin captured between infrastructure acquisition cost and enterprise billing rates. Axe Compute is not Aethir; Aethir operates the underlying network.
Axe Compute will monetize access to that network for enterprise buyers who require guaranteed capacity, service-level agreements, and a counterparty that operates within traditional corporate and regulatory structures.
Infrastructure as the Enabling Layer
Axe Compute’s thesis rests on a structural view of AI development: breakthroughs in models depend on the infrastructure that makes experimentation possible.
Transformers require the compute to train them. Scaling laws require the hardware to test them. Production AI requires the capacity to run it. This positions infrastructure operators differently than the hyperscalers or the model developers.
Axe Compute does not compete with AWS on breadth of services or with OpenAI on model capabilities. It operates in the space between: utilizing the Aethir network to provide the specific, dedicated GPU capacity that AI-native companies require when cloud queues are too long and building internal infrastructure is too slow.
Axe Compute believes it will be able to introduce the flexibility of a resource pool that can be allocated to support varied project requirements as they arise. Collectively, Axe Compute believes these early workloads will show that Axe Compute can function as a stable backbone for a wide range of production AI systems, reinforcing the need for decentralized compute as a foundational layer of enterprise AI infrastructure.
Axe Compute anticipates sourcing infrastructure at competitive rates and providing reliable, predictable access to high-capacity compute through the Aethir network.
Axe Compute believes it is positioned to demonstrate the scalability and effectiveness of its model as initial deployments come online and its enterprise client base is expanded.
Axe Compute will continue to operate its AI-driven drug discovery business and may explore potential expansion into other digital asset categories beyond compute infrastructure as its operating model matures.
Axe Compute (NASDAQ: AGPU) plans to make world-class AI compute accessible to all through its access to the Aethir network. By delivering Aethir-provided decentralized global infrastructure.
Axe Compute endeavors to deliver instant access to bare-metal GPUs at scale to innovators and established businesses alike. Axe Compute is where decentralized choice meets enterprise trust.
