Akash Network
Akash Network is an open-source, decentralized cloud marketplace for AI and GPU compute.
What is Akash Network?
Akash Network, founded by Greg Osuri, is an open-source decentralized cloud computing platform positioned as the decentralized cloud for AI. It offers a peer-to-peer marketplace where users can tap into global GPU power — including H100, H200, and A100 GPUs — at a fraction of the cost of centralized cloud providers. Akash supports AI model deployment through AkashML, Ray distributed clusters for scaling training across multiple nodes, and 1-click templates for launching pre-configured environments for models like Llama, DeepSeek, and Stable Diffusion. The platform is Docker-native with full Kubernetes support, requiring no refactoring for containerized workloads. The AKT token powers every GPU transaction on the network.
