10,000 sub-50kW residential edge clusters can train the best model
Greg Osuri, CEO of Akash Network, on why compute should be shared with a decentralized marketplace! (LegendsNLeaders)
“Instead of a few large hyperscale data centers, you want to be able to have small edge-optimized clusters that could be available in a residential or office setting that draws less than 50 kW capacity. That’s something that can be easily facilitated in a residential environment through solar… 10,000 of these clusters can actually build the biggest and the best state-of-the-art model.” — 00:16:16
Context: His concrete alternative to hyperscale: ~$2M Nvidia clusters distributed across homes/offices, coordinated by crypto incentives (“Akash is a decentralized trust control plane”) [00:18:28]; “a residence is a phenomenal place for an edge data center with enough incentives” [00:19:12].
