AI products will be forced to distributed clusters by unit economics
How Akash Network is Democratizing Access to Cloud GPUs | Greg Osuri (0xResearch)
“Copilot is one of those products I use on almost a daily basis… I pay about $8 per month for GitHub and it costs about $20 per month per user to produce it. So on unit economics they’re taking a loss… How do you optimize it? You have to go for something that’s a lot less expensive, and the way you do that is by distributing your clusters and taking advantage of something like Akash.” — 00:15:19
Context: His thesis that the industry is “optimizing iteration over productization” now, but as models productize, cost pressure drives workloads to decentralized/distributed compute. Quote spans into 00:16:02.
