The @ovrclk_ AI team has been hard at work making @akashnetAI the best inference offering in the market and its starting to pay off. A week ago we set a new record with 10 billion tokens processed per day, today we're about to nearly double that to 17 billion tokens. We've also been reaching new ATH every day since.

Self-custody users on Akash can now access their wallet deployments directly through Console Air. Run docker containers without setup friction. ↓ Connect and deploy here. air.akash.network

.@Forbes just named Akash Network as the core AI infrastructure powering the rise of "0-person companies," calling out decentralized compute as the layer that eliminates the need for centralized cloud providers entirely.

Self-custody users: Console Air is your new home. Your deployments are on-chain and safe as long as you have your private key or seed phrase. Migrate by May 18 for continued UI access. → Migration Guide: github.com/akash-network/con…

Introducing Console Air: Fully self-custodial and open source Akash Console Why? When we introduced managed wallet capabilities to attract non-crypto users, adoption improved but confusion arose about usage. To streamline the experience and reduce confusion, we proposed AEP-84 to decouple the crypto experience from mainstream. We believe this will significantly improve product quality. Today we deliver on our proposal. Give it a try. akash.network/blog/introduci…

Greg Osuri built the case for decentralized AI in three layers in under 5 minutes. Layer one: access. Anthropic's Claude is the best coding model available. OpenClaw is the most successful open-source project in history. Anthropic just announced they're banning OpenClaw usage. The most powerful model cutting off the most loved tool. The company that controls the best intelligence can revoke your access whenever their interests change. Layer two: transparency. You have no idea what biases Anthropic has built into Claude. If AI models directly impact how you think, the decision tree needs to be visible. Closed-source models with hidden biases making decisions that shape your worldview isn't a feature, it's a risk. Layer three: compute. Amazon may be picking winners in AI by controlling compute allocation. Cloud companies stopped being neutral marketplaces and started giving GPUs to the companies they've bet on. Amazon overwhelmingly backing Anthropic might have contributed to Claude's dominance. The cloud is no longer a utility. It's a kingmaker. @gregosuri's conclusion: intelligence should be free like water and air. Decentralized AI isn't ideology. It's the only architecture where the model can't ban your tools, the biases can be audited, and the compute isn't allocated by a company picking favorites.
