Resources
Decentralized GPU cloud, in plain English.
Decentralized networks rent compute from independent operators. Each one solves a different problem.
The networks
The networks
- Internet Computer (ICP): canister smart contracts with onchain compute; emerging GPU subnets for AI inference
- AO / Arweave: hyper-parallel processes on permanent storage — good fit for persistent AI agents
- Akash Network: open marketplace to lease GPU containers from independent providers
- Render Network: distributed GPU rendering for 3D, motion and AI jobs
- io.net: aggregated clusters from datacenters and independent operators
Good fits
Good fits
- Batch rendering and video generation
- Inference endpoints that tolerate some latency variance
- Agent processes that benefit from persistence and verifiability
- Overflow capacity during launches
Watch-outs
Watch-outs
- Data sensitivity and compliance requirements
- Provider reliability varies — design for retries
- Token pricing can change; model costs in fiat too
- Network names belong to their owners; FlashRate lists them as networks we work with and track, not official partners
