Mainnet 8: GPU Visibility Upgrades

As the proliferation of Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI applications has come to a head, large corporations and agile startups are still struggling to secure access to high-performance GPUs.

The Supercloud for AI Is Live

Starting today, Akash is launching capabilities for its Supercloud to offer GPUs - The network now supports NVIDIA GPUs, with options for others such as AMD in the future - The network has successfully hosted NVIDIA H100s and A100s, plus a range of consumer-grade GPUs - Access to consumer-grade GPUs is one way the Akash Supercloud stands apart

Overclock Labs Joins Forces With Cloudmos to Advance the Akash Supercloud

As the world’s demand for compute surges, Akash Network and its community are constantly expanding. The network is always looking for ways to support its most committed contributors, who are invaluable in growing the network’s capabilities.

Testing the First AI Supercloud

Over 1,300 people from around the world signed up to participate in the Akash GPU Testnet. This three-week public beta test was the first real-world demonstration of GPU compute being distributed with the open-source Akash Supercloud. The Supercloud concept was initially theorized by Cornell University and MIT, before being practically applied in the Akash Network whitepaper.

Building the Supercloud for AI

The world’s compute needs are increasing exponentially. With the rise of AI and machine learning, chip manufacturers are experiencing unprecedented demand, straining the global supply chain that transforms sand into silicon.

Public Cloud Is a Public Utility

The Akash Network was created approximately two years ago to decentralize cloud infrastructure and put it in the hands of the people. It's now run by a network of globally distributed node operators who secure the Akash blockchain and provide cloud-grade server space for tenant applications.
