Maps io.net's demand side (AI builders priced out of centralized clouds) and supply side (datacenters, miners, other DePINs, consumer hardware). Cites 320k+ verified GPUs, 24k+ cluster-ready, and US datacenters running at 12-18% capacity.
Key claims
320k+ verified GPUs and 24k+ cluster-ready GPUs
100k+ US datacenters operate at 12-18% capacity
Who are the participants on a decentralized GPU marketplace providers like @ionet?
✪ Demand side:
Actors that need access to affordable AI compute and cheap GPUs, which are potentially priced out of centralized solutions.
✪ Supply side:
Datacenters that have underutilized compute, miners (e.g. owners of old $ETH mining devices), but also networks like @Filecoin or @rendernetwork and even individuals with their MacBook or PS5.
Considering the huge % of global compute that sits in end consumer hardware and that there is > 100k datacenters in US that in most cases operate at 12-18% capacity, the supply side potential is huge.
This is evidenced by over 320k verified GPUs and over 24k cluster-ready GPUs.
The challenge is to match that supply with demand.
Recently, @ionet has been ramping up significantly on that front, announcing multiple major partnerships with various companies that will leverage @ionet's compute power for running inference of various forms of AI models.
Why do these companies choose networks like $IO?
☞ It's the biggest DePIN for GPUs by orders of magnitude
☞ It's the only DePIN with the ability to build geo-distributed clusters
☞ It's significantly cheaper than centralized alternatives
However, @ionet is not solely dependent on this meetspace demand.
As we enter the era of AI agents, the adoption will likely go fully parabolic, with these code-based instances of intelligence specifically designed to find the fastest and most efficient solutions to a problem they are tasked to solve.
As agents become decision-makers that control resources, a lot of the infrastructure we have been building in this space will start to make sense.
