Decentralized training "isn't the future, it's the present"
Akash Accelerate 2025: Official Livestream (Akash Network)
“Nous pushed scale even further — a 405 billion parameter model trained in the wild, fully open source, fully decentralized. This isn’t the future. It’s the present. Together these breakthroughs prove… we can train powerful models without centralized servers, we can verify correctness without trust, and we can scale intelligence without monopolies.” — 04:31:19
Context: After citing Pluralis’s asynchronous swarm training, Gensyn’s 72B-parameter fully on-chain model (captions render it “Jensen”), and Bagel’s ZK-LoRA verification.
