Live session: Centralized vs Decentralized Compute: Who Will Power the Future of AI?

​AI compute is becoming one of the most important infrastructure questions of this decade.

​As demand for GPUs grows, builders are facing rising costs, limited availability, scaling challenges, and increasing pressure to find more flexible ways to access compute.

​This panel brings together leaders from Nosana, Akash, Aethir, and io.net to explore a timely question:

​Will the future of AI compute be powered by centralized hyperscalers, decentralized networks, or a combination of both?

​We’ll discuss where centralized cloud still has an advantage, where decentralized compute networks can offer a better alternative, and what this means for AI builders, startups, enterprises, and autonomous agents.

​This session is for AI builders, infrastructure teams, developers, founders, DePIN communities, Web3 operators, and anyone interested in the future of AI infrastructure.

​Join us for a practical conversation on what is changing, what still needs to improve, and who may power the next generation of AI.
