Day 8 for Contribute-DAO

Today, we'll talk about Kuzco.

Kuzco is a distributed GPU cluster built on the Solana blockchain, designed to facilitate efficient and cost-effective inference of large language models (LLMs) such as Llama3, Mistral, Phi3, and more. By leveraging the power of idle compute resources contributed by network participants, Kuzco enables users to access these models through an OpenAI-compatible API.

No funding details disclosed, but it was founded by Sam Hogan.

Sam Hogan, CEO and founder of Kuzco said “Our mission is to increase the total amount of LLM inference performed worldwide, primarily by driving down the cost to developers and providing intuitive access to the tools they need.”

The future of AI isn’t just in massive data centers—it’s in the spare computing power all around us, waiting to be unleashed. As this distributed model gains traction, we may be witnessing the dawn of a more accessible, efficient, and innovative AI ecosystem for all.
