Akash Network CEO Greg Osuri stated that the key challenge facing decentralized cloud infrastructure is access to computing resources, not the technology itself. He explained in an interview that, to serve AI developers, Akash has expanded from native containers to support virtual machines and has prioritized user workflows over technological trends. Osuri views blockchain as a coordination layer for identity and payments, rather than a platform for running heavy AI workloads, since these workloads are conducted off-chain. The network's marketplace connects underutilized GPUs with developers, and its strategic shift may include migrating from Cosmos to other networks like Solana.
