Offchain Compute Inventory

Draft

Motivation

Show users what compute inventory could be brought on to the network if there was demand with the intention of attracting larger customers and training workloads who may be turned off by the limited number of available GPUs, particularly as demand increases.

Summary

This would require gathering inventory from existing providers of compute that hasn’t yet been brought on to Akash. The inventory should ideally be updated through an API but could potentially be done manually by the providers as well.

Users/ cusotmers of Akash Network often come from traditional cloud services where they are able to "reserve" a certain number and type of instances for a period of time which gives them the assurance that they will always have access to that exact infrastructure and also provides them lower discounts (for committed use). This is not possible on Akash.
