The Ethereum merge will flood the market with GPUs for Akash
Akash Office Hours : End of Year Product Update (Akash Network)
“A big source of GPUs in the next six months is going to be from Ethereum miners. As you know, Ethereum is moving off proof of work to proof of stake — that unlocks [an] enormous amount of GPU capability in the market that has really nowhere to go, and Akash being a prime cloud partner would be an amazing use for us to use these GPUs and offer that at a discount that’s significant from what’s being offered in the market right now.” — 00:26:23
Context: GPU support was slated as the big Q1 2022 feature for machine-learning workloads; the merge happened September 2022 and Akash GPUs actually shipped in 2023.
