DFINITY builds the Internet Computer, a sovereign frontier cloud for AI that builds. Apps run end to end on a global network of independent nodes. They stay tamperproof, always-on, and under the control of the people who built them.

What that means in practice:

Tamperproof. The code cannot be silently changed. Not by us, not by a hosting provider, not by an attacker.

Always-on. The network keeps serving even when a data centre goes down. There is no maintenance window.

Yours. The app is governed by its own keys and rules, not by a vendor's terms of service.

The same software can run on bare metal, on AWS, on Google Cloud, on Azure, or across a mix. The guarantees travel with the protocol, not with the hardware underneath.

The Internet Computer is built for the era where AI builds software. Agents can ship apps, services, and entire systems on a substrate that stays running and keeps its data across upgrades.

Three places to start.

skills.internetcomputer.org — a curated skills library for Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI coding agents. Plug Internet Computer context into the agent you already use, and ship to a sovereign cloud from the same chat.

caffeine.ai — describe an app in natural language, get a working app on the Internet Computer.

icp.ninja — a browser-based environment for developers who want to write Internet Computer code and deploy in a few minutes.

DFINITY Foundation is a not-for-profit. We have run the largest R&D effort in our category since 2017, with researchers from cryptography, distributed systems, and programming language design. Follow the page for builds, releases, and notes from the team.
