The direction is clear. Most people will not own serious compute anymore.
AI demand is pushing hardware prices up across the board. RAM, GPUs, storage, even consumer devices keep getting more expensive. For many users, owning powerful local machines no longer makes sense. Compute is moving to shared infra that you access when you need it.
That shift does not have to mean control, lock-in, or surveillance by default. The real question is who owns and operates that compute. Centralized clouds concentrate power. Open, distributed compute networks spread it out.
From our side, the goal is simple. Make high-performance compute accessible without forcing people into a single gatekeeper. If compute is going to be streamed, it should at least be open, affordable, and choice driven.
