Description

The AI revolution is consuming more power than entire countries, and the world's tech giants can't build data centers fast enough. This incredible strain creates an opening for a radical new model: decentralized compute.

Imagine a global "Airbnb for GPUs," where processing power is 80% cheaper. So why isn't everyone using it? This is the story of a brilliant idea facing a messy reality.

We unpack the promise of networks like Akash and io.net, but also the five brutal challenges holding them back from powering our AI future. It’s a battle between scrappy upstarts and centralized kings.

Join us as we explore the high-stakes race to forge compute into crypto's next great primitive.
