The sheer amount of power needed to train and run AI models is staggering, and it’s only getting worse.

Greg Osuri , the founder of Akash , has been thinking about this for years .

Akash was designed to be an open cloud marketplace where anyone with spare computing power could lease it out to those who needed it.

The rate at which AI ’s energy needs are growing is doubling every two years .

Akash is working on energy-aware scheduling, ensuring that AI workloads are distributed based on power availability, cost efficiency, and sustainability.

The most abundant energy source we have is the sun, and where do we have roof space? Homes.

The genie isn’t going back in the bottle. AI is here to stay. The question now is how we power the future—without wrecking the planet in the process. Akash is betting that decentralization is the answer. If they’re right, the future of AI might not be in massive data centers at all—but on the rooftops of homes across the world..
