Parked cars selling their idle GPUs at night
Blockchain & Cloud Computing - Akash Network W/ Greg Osuri (Arcane Bear)
“We also have very early conversations with AV makers… an autonomous vehicle maker that is exploring using Akash in their cars, because the cars have like six GPUs — in the night when they’re parking they’re not using them, so it’s a great time to put the supply on Akash… use cases like that, that are so extreme… they’re not possible on web 2.” — 00:30:32
Context: Striking edge-compute vision: consumer vehicles as revenue-earning GPU providers; the carmaker would first use its own fleet’s GPUs for internal ML, then open to the market.
