Ai_007 – Global Markets for GPU Power with Christopher David

What if we could mitigate the enormous centralizing effects of the massive server farms and huge corporate entities, by pooling the GPU power of the millions of users and tinkerers who have unused or regularly idle computational power, into a decentralized marketplace for buying and selling Ai execution, and we could power it all with instantly settled sats over lightning?

It just so happens that we can, and this ambitious project is being brought to life with GPUtopia. Chris David from the project joins us today to break down the vision and how they hope to play a part in the decentralized future of Ai.
