Star Cluster phase three: homes, schools, and communities

Beyond GPUs: How Decentralization Can Solve AI's Biggest Scaling Bottleneck | Day 2 | Crypto x AI (Blockworks)

“Phase one is data center grade nodes coming online in 2025… Phase two is telco edge… closer to where data is generated. Phase three is homes, schools, and communities — the long tail, the untapped potential. Each phase expands scale, reach, and ownership… Akash isn’t [just] about decentralizing compute. It’s about decentralizing who gets to participate in AI’s upside.” — 00:08:56

Context: The Star Cluster roadmap; ~8,300 distributed GB200 NVL72 racks (~120 kW each) equal one gigawatt of compute without a single building.
