Compute: Past, Present, and Future by Akash Network founder Greg Osuri at deAI Summit 2024 (Pundi X Labs)
“Apples to apples, Akash costs about 80% cheaper than Amazon… and the way you’re able to get this is because Akash taps into underutilized resources, whereas [on] Amazon you’re actually building new resources and new data centers. With GPUs, in fact, H100 on Akash cost[s] [$1.49] whereas the same resource would cost I think $5 on Amazon.” — 00:15:29
