io.net(@ionet):$157,680. That’s the annual difference between running 8x A100s 24/7 on AWS vs. https://t.co/ZuybGWvjv9. Same GPUs. Very different outcome. Centralized clouds offer quotas, lock-in, and opaque pricing. Decentralized compute offers global supply, instant access, and full control and flexibility. Centralized clouds still have their place. But for most of AI workloads, paying a hyperscaler tax doesn’t. We break down the architectures, costs and tradeoffs ↓
