Podcast EP357: How Gonka is Changing the Way AI is Accessed with David Liberman

Daniel is joined by David Liberman, a Los Angeles-based futurist, serial entrepreneur, investor, and former Director of Products at Snap, as well as the co-creator of the Gonka protocol. Gonka is a decentralized protocol that connects people who need computing power for AI with operators who provide GPU hardware. Its goal is to offer an open alternative to centralized cloud providers for AI inference and model training.

In this compelling and far-reaching discussion, Dan explores the how and why of the Gonka protocol with David. He begins with a discussion of proof-of-stake vs. proof-of-work as applied to decentralized compute infrastructure. In this discussion, David explains the power of a decentralized community using a real-world example. Bitcoin was built with a decentralized approach and David explains that the resulting infrastructure is larger the combined infrastructures of AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, OpenAI, and SpaceX. When these decentralized techniques are applied to AI, the result is the most efficient and cost-effective infrastructure for using AI in the world today.

David explains many other benefits of the Gonka protocol and describes its impact today and in the future. You can learn more about Gonka and the power of decentralized computing here.
