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. :)

I’ve already tested Ocean AI, and honestly, it’s incredibly impressive. I’m still getting used to the speed—it’s 10x faster than OpenAI’s O1 model! After constantly using ChatGPT, this is a major upgrade. Not only is it faster, but it also keeps your data private, ensuring no one knows what you’re prompting! I’m really enjoying it and plan to use it every day. No more ChatGPT or any other AI. I’m also super excited about Copilot Mode and ORI, which will take the experience to the next level!

The vision of AI that is unrestricted, unbiased, and owned by the community rather than corporations is one that resonates deeply. We’ve seen what happens when a handful of players dictate AI development—bias, censorship, and exclusion. Ocean is setting the foundation for something truly different. If this succeeds, it could mark the beginning of a more open and democratized AI era. Best of luck on this journey

I am genuinely impressed by the speed at which it produces output — it's mind-blowing! This tool is incredibly helpful. Let me show you: I wanted to validate some Rust code for my project, and not only does it give fast results (9.1 times faster than OpenAI's O1 model), but it also provides related topics based on your code, showing how you can improve it. Here’s a screenshot if you don’t believe me: link

This makes it a top-notch tool for developers. I even recorded a full video to back up my words: [video link]. I definitely recommend everyone test it out! I’ll personally use it every day for work and research. Ocean AI outperforms ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude by a significant margin. It's truly a game-changer for anyone looking to take their coding and productivity to the next level!

I've been testing O.CEAN for a while now. Currently, it's based on the llama3.3-70b model and is available to everyone. As a user, what impressed me the most was the speed of its responses. Running on Cerebras WSE-3 chips, Ocean enjoys a clear advantage over its competitors, particularly in voice interactions.


In the near future, support for O Routing Intelligence (ORI) is expected to roll out. This framework will enable O Intelligence to break down complex queries into simpler, atomic tasks. By accessing resources like HuggingFace or utilizing a repository of top-performing open-source AI models, ORI will intelligently route these tasks to the most appropriate models. This not only promises more precise answers but also ensures faster and more cost-effective processing.


I’m following the project's development with great interest and eagerly await further updates. I'm also curious to see how rapid user growth might impact processing speeds.


I really enjoyed the Discover section, which features a news feed that allows you to get a quick summary by simply clicking on a news item. I hope you will add the option to customize the feed as desired, as well as the ability to receive a short digest of all news on a schedule.


I wish you success. You are making a great product.
