Akash's Mission: Decentralizing Cloud Computing
Akash aims to create an open, transparent, and permissionless layer in the cloud computing industry. They want to reverse the current state of the cloud, which is opaque and controlled by a few dominant providers. By offering a marketplace for decentralized computing, Akash provides users with a one-stop shop for their cloud needs, offering significantly lower costs and access to high-density GPUs that are not available on traditional cloud platforms like Amazon. Akash's mission is to give users more control, ownership, and sovereignty over their cloud usage, particularly in newer areas like machine learning.
