Episode 174: GPUtopia 2.0
We announce we're rebooting our swarm compute network: previously called GPUtopia, now called OpenAgents Compute.
This will enable anyone in the world to sell their spare compute for bitcoin, simply by running a desktop app with a built-in bitcoin wallet.
We're building an updated version of our previously successful GPUtopia software that supported swarm inference, embedding, finetuning, and image generation using open models behind an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. It begins as a payments & agent-builder layer on top of Ollama.
We'll build & beta-test this in our Discord over the next week and expect to have the first payments sent to compute providers no later than one week from today.
We phased out the original GPUtopia network 18 months ago because we had an oversupply of sellers and no compelling buy-side use cases. We predicted at the time that the logical buyers of this swarm compute would someday be AI agents.
Someday has arrived.
