🎙️ Ep. 778 Gonka | Decentralizing the Future of AI Compute (feat. Gleb Morgachev)

For episode 778 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Gleb Morgachev, Co-Creator of Gonka, an open-source decentralized AI network designed to make high-performance AI compute more accessible and efficient. 

Throughout the episode, Brandon and Gleb explore how Gonka turns computational power into useful AI work, its approach to Proof of Compute, how decentralized networks can verify AI inference, where decentralized infrastructure still competes with centralized cloud providers, and what the future could look like when access to GPU compute is coordinated by an open network rather than a single company.
