The Invisible Gold Mine
An Invisible Gold Mine: Why Your Bandwidth is Valuable
Imagine a world where vast amounts of computational power lie dormant, locked within unused devices, while industries struggle with a global shortage of data transfer capacity. AI developers, machine learning engineers, and IoT innovators face increasing challenges as the demand for high-performance computing soars, driving costs up and slowing progress.
In today's AI landscape, beyond the dominant companies like:
Google
Meta
OpenAI
New competitive forces are emerging, such as Deepseek. This creates an immense demand for AI training across numerous organizations, both large and small. AI training can be extremely complex, often requiring multiple devices working in tandem to process massive amounts of information. This is known as distributed computing, where tasks are spread across different systems. Bandwidth serves as the pipeline connecting these systems, allowing them to share data and collaborate.
The importance of bandwidth becomes clear when considering the scale of modern AI, which processes terabytes of data and requires high-capacity connections. Tech giants like Meta, OpenAI, and Google reap significant profits from unused bandwidth, yet they provide no compensation for it. This creates an imbalance as the wealth generated by AI flows upwards, while bandwidth contributors receive nothing. However, this dynamic is set to change.
