Solar rooftops can power the distributed-training nodes
Ep. 654 The Intersection of AI and Cryptocurrency with Akash Network (CRYPTO 101)
“If you can actually train using distributed clusters, that means we can have distributed clusters in places that can have about a hundred kilowatt capacity. Now, how can we get a hundred kilowatt capacity? Solar… a 4,000 square foot roof can get you a hundred kilowatt capacity.” — 00:27:55
Context: The bridge between his energy and decentralization theses: millions of small solar-fed nodes replacing coal-burning mega-centers, incentivized by a token share of inference revenue (00:28:40).
