Ocean is a decentralized AI search assistant designed to be the fastest and most powerful in its class. Ocean delivers unmatched speed and efficiency, outperforming traditional AI search engines while remaining sovereign, borderless, and censorship-resistant.
I believe this is the world's fastest AI system. More significantly, it signifies the beginning of AI governance. While movies often depict AI surpassing humans, Shadid and his team have developed an AI designed purely to serve us.
Just incredible!! Tested it to create some code for my 3D software and is super fast in response time. Was able to get my work done faster and very accurate replies too! The difference in speed from OpenAI really caught me off guard. I have seen the next functions that they are going to implement with ORI and using over 100k open source models and I literally cannot wait to test it out. The team is definitely cooking with this one and is already started off with the right foot. UI and page is also pretty nice! Dark theme is the default ( thanks for thinking about our eyes !!! ) and easy readability. Price is also super fair! Really the speed and accuracy make it worth it even by themselves. When the full features will be live gonna be super cheap!
Meet OCEAN– World’s Fastest AI Search Engine 🌊
Hey Product Hunt, I'm Ahmad Shadid, founder of O.XYZ!
Before building O.XYZ, I founded, built and scaled IO.NET, the largest decentralised compute infrastructure company, to $4B valuation. This is where I saw firsthand how AI is monopolized at every level. From GPU supply chains to cloud access, a handful of corporations and governments dictate who gets to build AI, how much it costs, and what it can say.
I watched as companies struggled to get the compute they needed—not because it wasn’t available, but because access was controlled, censored, or priced out of reach. Governments have backdoors into cloud providers, monitoring AI training and shutting down nodes at will. This isn’t just a business issue—it’s a fundamental problem for the future of AI.
That’s why we’re building Ocean—a Sovereign AI Search Engine designed to operate beyond centralized control and that is 10X faster than the other models out there.
The Problem
AI today is neither private nor truly in users’ hands:
🔹 Monopoly at every layer: From GPUs to cloud providers to AI applications, access is centralized.
🔹 Censorship & control: AI models are restricted, modified, or removed based on institutional interests.
🔹 Built-in surveillance: Governments have backdoor access to cloud-based AI, monitoring and controlling models at will.
This goes against the ethos of decentralized AI. AI should be open, transparent, and owned by its users.
🤔 What is Ocean?
We’re actively building Ocean to be more than just an AI search engine—our goal is to evolve it into a self-sovereign, fully private, intelligent, and censorship-resistant AI. Some parts are live, while others are in development.
✅ What Works Now
Community-Owned & Decentralized: Built to operate beyond corporate and government control.
Powered by Inferencing on Cerebras Chips: Delivers ultra-fast responses, reaching up to 2,200 tokens per second.
Smarter Search & Context Awareness: Retrieves deeper insights with related prompts and cited references.
Workflows & AI-Powered File Analysis: Upload PDFs, CSVs, or Excel files, and Ocean analyzes and extracts insights.
Organized AI Knowledge: Save and categorize your chats into folders for future reference.
O Voice: A voice assistant for hands-free AI interaction.
Discover Page: Browse trending prompts from third-party sources without using your prompt quota.
Normal Mode: A fast, privacy-first web search using SearxNG.
🎯 What’s Coming Next
We’re making Ocean even more powerful and decentralized.
Copilot Mode (In Development): AI-enhanced search with deep web exploration for richer results.
ORI (Routing Intelligence) (Launching in March): This intelligence selects and routes to the best AI model for your specific prompt, optimizing responses for writing, coding, research, and more.
We envision a future where AI operates without centralized gatekeepers, where no single entity dictates its evolution, censors its responses, or exploits user data.
🔹A Decentralized AI Infrastructure: Built to function across terrestrial, orbital, and maritime networks, ensuring resilience beyond corporate or government control.
🔹 Privacy at the Core: Designed to minimize tracking and external influence, so users can interact without surveillance.
🔹 Transparent & Unbiased Intelligence: No hidden influence over responses.
Would love to hear your thoughts. Drop your feedback in the comments! 🚀
@shadid_io I am writing this comment as someone who has been an investor in the #OBOT project since the beginning.
First of all, as a Computer Engineer, I can say that even the beta version of the product is very impressive. I hope that this project will do much more in the future for decentralized AI, and I believe it will.
As for the problems; the transfer of the #OBOT project, the OSOL launch, and ridiculous airdrops to video shooters have caused me a lot of damage in the project that I have been an investor in since the beginning. I have lost more than 90%, but I still have to be honest.
The project is good, there are administrative problems. It has always upset its investors until today. I hope something changes after today.
By the way, my email is different here, search Lone to find me on discord. :)
@shadid_io good luck O lets ride the 2025
@shadid_io you know how to make awesome projects, io.net as a top DePIN project and o.xyz as the first sovereign AI, which is already top tier.
OCEAN is the future of AI, I believe it, so fast and there are still a lot of things coming soon to make it the best AI🌊 Excited to try out the Copilot Mode and ORI!
@shadid_io 🔥 Game-Changer Alert! 🔥
Shadid and the OCEAN team are tackling AI’s biggest challenges! 🚀
Decentralized, censorship-resistant, and ultra-fast AI is the revolution we need.
✅ No censorship
✅ 2,200 TPS inferencing
✅ User-owned, surveillance-free
Excited for Copilot Mode & ORI! Will this integrate into AI pipelines and challenge centralized monopolies? Keeping a close eye on Ocean! 🚀🌊

O.CEAN is what companies need...
O.CEAN is what real people need...
O.CEAN is what AI technology needs...
O.CEAN is what web3 needs...
O.CEAN is what true freedom of speech needs...
O.CEAN is what decentralisatiom needs..
O.CEAN is what real privacy needs...
O.CEAN is what today's and future world really needs.
Designed and created by O.XYZ not for not for enrichment but for helping people in whatever they need . It's a self-sovereign, fully private, intelligent, and censorship-resistant AI. Using a 10x faster than other AI experience and a voice logging can make your life much easier.
This is just a glimpse of ocean, much , much more excites my mind as much as it can.
minimalist phone: creating folders
I am pretty curious what was the budget for video because taking into account the post process, it had to be pricy. 😅
It looks pretty good.
