Join Jesse Eisses at SuperAI Singapore 2025 as he explores the crucial role of open-source compute in democratizing artificial intelligence. In his insightful talk, Jesse takes inspiration from Sam Elman's prediction that "compute will be the currency of the future," highlighting the urgent challenge of accessibility in AI advancement. Drawing from his personal experience as a former AI researcher, Jesse discusses how the scarcity of compute resources, particularly GPUs, has been a persistent hurdle in the development and deployment of AI technologies.
As AI continues its exponential growth, the demand for compute resources is skyrocketing. Yet, access remains unevenly distributed, with major cloud providers monopolizing resources, leaving smaller enterprises and startups struggling to compete. Jesse shares his concerns about the potential future where AI is controlled by a few powerful entities, much like the evolution of the internet.
Through Nosana, Jesse and his team are transforming this landscape by leveraging the massive network of GPUs originally used in gaming and rendering. Nosana's decentralized platform offers an innovative solution, aggregating global compute power to provide affordable and accessible resources for all. This approach not only lowers costs—by up to 80% compared to traditional cloud solutions—but also boosts efficiency and security through data locality and optimized distribution.
Discover how startups, like Singaporean-based Snoopy AI, are benefiting from Nosana's platform, transforming compute scarcity into opportunity. Jesse's vision for a more diverse and accessible AI ecosystem outlines a practical path to achieving this future.
