  • Infrastructure for AI built on decentralised technologies
  • Applications and tooling alongside the infrastructure layer
  • Aimed at reducing dependence on concentrated providers
  • Research output alongside products
  • Participation model rather than single-operator hosting
Pros
  • Removes essentially all GPU provisioning work for open-source models
  • Pay-per-use pricing suits experimental and bursty workloads
  • Cog keeps models portable rather than locking them to the platform
  • Addresses a genuine concentration problem in AI infrastructure
  • Research and products rather than positioning alone
  • Alternative economics for suitable workloads
Cons
  • Cold starts add latency on infrequently used models
  • Sustained high-volume inference eventually costs more than dedicated hardware
  • Decentralised training and inference carry real coordination costs
  • Early-stage area; compare economics per workload before committing
