Neighbors trading GPU time — battery packs for compute

Mission: DeFi EP 98 - Can Akash be a major player in AI with their GPU market? Founder Greg Osuri (Mission: DeFi)

“Consider a scenario where you have a supercomputer in your house and your neighbor has one and you need more power — you don’t want to go to the cloud, you can go ask your neighbor and use Akash to trade… It becomes like battery packs for GPUs at some point: just use it when you have, or sell it back to the grid… or get back from the grid when you need it.” — 00:39:45

Context: Extending the home-supercomputer scenario into an electricity-grid analogy for peer-to-peer compute sharing — an early statement of his recurring compute-as-grid thesis.
