Razer × Akash AVA Mini campaign, 2026

15× lower per-image inference cost

$0.01 per generated image

11,000+ images in five days

3.24s average turnaround

Case study · Razer AVA Mini

11,000 images in five days. One cent each.

For its 2026 April Fools' campaign, Razer let anyone turn a pet photo into a personalized 3D AI companion for free. At typical API rates of $0.03 to $0.15 per image, the math didn't work.

So Razer ran its open-source AIKit on consumer RTX 4090 and 5090 GPUs across Akash, managed by AkashML behind a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

“The future of AI isn't just better models – it's efficient infrastructure. With Razer AIKit, many use cases already run locally. With Akash Network, we extend that into a decentralised cloud to scale efficiently.”

Why Astria moved its AI image workloads to Akash.

Astria builds AI image production tools for fashion and ecommerce brands. That means fine-tuning and serving custom models on GPUs around the clock. Here's what changed when they moved that work onto the open compute marketplace.

Read the Astria Story

Every compute buyer asks three questions. Here are straight answers.

01 Where to look · Easy access

One marketplace. Providers worldwide.

Data-center GPUs and consumer cards from providers around the world, in one place. No waitlist. No approval queue.

02 How much to pay · Flexibility

The market sets the price, not a rate card.

Providers bid for your workload. You pick the one that fits and pay the market-clearing price. Scale up, scale down, or switch providers. No long-term contract.

03 Who to trust · Peace of mind

Every bid is visible. Nothing is hidden.

See who runs your workload, where, and at what price. Audited providers, an open-source stack, and a team that will help you set it up.
