Deep dives

The Rising Demand for GPU Cycles

The GPU cycle market is experiencing increasing demand, primarily driven by AI applications needing these cycles from central servers. As the supply struggles to keep up with this heightened demand, the cost of accessing GPU cycles has surged, making it burdensome for many users. In response, a new model allows homeowners with gaming rigs to make their idle GPU cycles available on a network, essentially selling unused capacity while receiving compensation. This approach empowers individuals with gaming systems to monetize their hardware during periods of inactivity, tapping into a previously underutilized resource.
