In six months decentralized training went from vision to proven path
Beyond GPUs: How Decentralization Can Solve AI's Biggest Scaling Bottleneck | Day 2 | Crypto x AI (Blockworks)
“Six months ago, decentralized AI training was a vision. Today, it’s a proven path… 405 billion parameters trained in the wild. This isn’t a science project. It is a movement… And just like Bitcoin proved for money, this proves for intelligence: we can build better systems by distributing them. Decentralization isn’t just viable, it’s inevitable.” — 00:06:46
