The New Secret Weapon of Decentralized AI: Why Greg Osuri Is Heavily Investing in Virtual Machines

According to CoinWorld, Akash Network CEO Greg Osuri stated that the key challenge facing decentralized cloud infrastructure lies in the acquisition of computing resources, rather than the technology itself. In an interview, he explained that in order to serve AI developers, Akash has expanded from native containers to supporting virtual machines, placing user workflows above technological trends. Osuri views blockchain as a coordination layer for identity and payments, rather than a platform for running heavy AI workloads, as these workloads are performed off-chain. The network's marketplace connects underutilized GPUs with developers, and its strategic transformation may include migrating from Cosmos to other networks such as Solana.
