Try SDXL running on NVIDIA A100s via Akash here: ‣ https://t.co/Hqk0xvLO15

Build on the Supercloud This could be your AI app running on the Akash Supercloud. SDXL on Akash began as a simple front-end UI built by @zju_u to showcase the power of coordinating compute on Akash for AI applications. Since then, it has evolved into a robust web app. It’s…

The @akashnet_ community does it again. Great wrap up video of this year's @CosmoverseHQ .

The permissionless SDXL app on Akash has generated over 12,000 images in less than two weeks. It's currently one of the only free, permissionless image generation apps running on NVIDIA A100s. Since the launch two weeks ago, the app deployment has generated over $2,000 in $AKT…

The proposal to train a foundational model on Akash has been approved. This model will require 24,000 NVIDIA A100 hours for training and is set to make history as the first foundational model to be trained on a decentralized cloud. A remarkable milestone for the $AKT community…

New @akashnet_ provider signed, Foundry Digital. 100% uptime over 2 weeks and 215 ms average response time across 7 geographically separated locations.

The Akash core team and community had a great time at @CosmoverseHQ and @HackmosHQ this year. The future looks bright for the Akash Supercloud and the adoption of distributed AI model training and inference. We're already looking forward to next year!

Many are thinking deeply about the best ways to preserve sovereign AI model training, and building the solutions that will enable permissionless AI development. Akash is well-positioned to power the coming wave of sovereign AI. Check out the open-source code for the first-place…

In case you missed it, @clydedevv won first place at @HackmosHQ for an AI model training solution that leverages Akash. Developers building with Akash is a fantastic way to showcase the power of an open-source Supercloud for AI.

Final edits to all the @akashnet_ projects underway at @HackmosHQ . The talent (& food) at this hackathon have been spectacular. I've been hosting, participating and sponsoring hackathons for years. This is by far the best one I've been part of. Well done @Cryptocito & team.

The Akash community representing at Hackmos. Made love to the community. ❤️ https://twitter.com/AdamDeanWozney/status/1710211856327922089?t=0Ufms_2HIUN3sCJXUv4auQ&s=19

Overclock Labs and ThumperAI have drafted a proposal to train the first foundation AI model on the Supercloud — and it would be named after Akash. The proposal is now live and onchain for the funding to be approved by governance. Cast your vote: ‣ https://t.co/rIlOG1X6ob

Mistral-7B is one of the best models of its size. It outperforms LLaMA 2 13B on all benchmarks and was released just last week. Here it is deployed by @ovrclk_ on an NVIDIA A100 leased via the Akash Supercloud.

Just announced live at @CosmoverseHQ : @gregosuri won the award for 'Best Developer' — accepted on stage by @AdamDeanWozney and Andrey from the Akash core team. Special thanks to everyone who voted!

The benefits of distributed access to high-demand GPUs on Akash are beginning to show in terms of network revenue and utilization. For more, check out the latest report from @MessariCrypto :

Privacy is a core use case for distributed networks like Akash. To see this in action, check out Blockguard, a new permissionless VPN that leverages Akash compute.

Access to high-demand GPUs is the story of the moment. This past week, @gregosuri sat down with @LoganJastremski to discuss: • How the Akash Supercloud distributes GPUs • How distributed AI model training and inference work on Akash • The importance of sovereign AI.

Less than 10 hours left to submit your projects for the #akashathon. Submissions close at 23:59 UTC tonight, and projects will be sent to judges for review starting on Monday. Best of luck to all participants.

Injective is now officially integrated with @akashnet_ , enabling seamless decentralized Injective node deployments. Head to Akash Network's Cloudmos dashboard to deploy your Injective node on the Akash Supercloud. https://t.co/NeyEbnZ20M
