Sovereign AI's Battlefield: Compute, Storage & Running On The Edge | Crypto x AI Event

Dive deep into the critical infrastructure layer powering the future of decentralized AI. Pondering Durian (Delphi) hosts a panel of leading experts building the next generation of decentralized compute, storage, and tooling:

• Greg Osuri, Founder of Akash, the world’s first decentralized cloud platform
• Michael Heinrich, Co-Founder & CEO of Zero G Labs, creators of the first decentralized AI operating system
• Mohamed Baioumy, Co-Founder of ExoLabs, enabling private, user-owned AI models

This episode provides an inside look at the technologies, tradeoffs, and possibilities in decentralized AI infrastructure. We examine the challenges and opportunities in building user-controlled, privacy-preserving AI systems on decentralized clouds and Web3 tech stacks. Our panel explores the cutting edge of decentralized compute, storage, and tooling, and debates what’s needed for open-source, decentralized development to compete with Big Tech’s AI infrastructure.

Key Questions:

►Where is demand coming from for decentralized infrastructure and how does it compete with hyperscalers?
►What are the key innovations enabling performant decentralized storage and retrieval for AI workloads?
►How do privacy, latency, and cost tradeoffs impact what AI can be done on-device vs in decentralized clouds?
►What breakthroughs are needed for decentralized AI training to catch up to centralized approaches?
►How does an open source ethos and permissionless innovation accelerate progress in decentralized infrastructure?
