Stop overpaying for the legacy cloud

The centralized providers gatekeep high-end GPUs behind sales calls and waitlists. Akash gives you direct access to GPU capacity from independent providers, priced by open bidding.

The marketplace advantage

Founders choose Akash to escape hyperscaler pricing and get direct access to GPU capacity, without sales calls or committed spend.

Dynamic Pricing

Providers bid for your workload in real time, so you pay a rate set by competition rather than a published list price.

Zero Waitlists

Access H100s on demand. No "Capacity Request" emails or multi-year contracts. If the hardware is idle, it is yours to claim.

No Egress Fees

Move workloads without proprietary lock-in. If it runs in Docker, it runs on Akash. You own the deployment; the market handles the supply.

Open Access

Akash is a protocol. There is no sales team to gatekeep your growth. Small seed rounds have the same priority as enterprise giants.

Agora Labs: from Akash contributor to acquisition by Brev.dev

Agora Labs started as a group of students who couldn't find GPUs. They built on the Akash protocol, scaled their interface for AI developers, and were eventually acquired by Brev.dev and subsequently NVIDIA.

Read the Story

"We were a group of students who couldn't find any GPUs anywhere we looked. One day, we stumbled upon Akash and after doing some initial reading, began asking numerous questions in the Discord. That's when we found an opportunity to contribute by creating a better interface for AI/ML developers to access Akash's permissionless compute. If you're questioning whether to build on akashnet, the answer is yes. Don't wait for anyone to give you a handout or tell you what to do..."

Passage:
50% lower cloud costs.
Zero performance loss.

Passage moved its 3D world-building infrastructure to Akash and cut infrastructure spend in half while keeping the performance real-time rendering requires.
