Nosana Launches Decentralized GPU Marketplace on Solana for AI Compute

Nosana, a decentralized infrastructure network built on Solana, has officially launched its mainnet alongside the opening of its GPU Marketplace. This milestone enables public access to Nosana’s decentralized GPU grid, offering affordable and efficient AI compute solutions.

With the GPU Marketplace now live, individuals with compatible GPUs can register as hosts to provide compute power for AI inference workloads. Businesses and researchers can access the decentralized grid to run tasks at significantly lower costs than traditional cloud providers. Nosana has focused on leveraging underutilized consumer GPUs, ensuring accessibility and scalability while reducing barriers to AI innovation.

Nosana initially launched its Test Grid in March 2024, and over the past year, Nosana has conducted extensive testing and refinement of its platform, starting with a closed group of testers. The network uses performance benchmarks to ensure reliability, with proven hosts upgraded to Premium Markets for higher-value workloads. Dynamic pricing models keep costs competitive for businesses while offering consistent earnings to GPU hosts.

Nosana has already formed partnerships with organizations such as Matrix One, PiKNiK, and Sogni.AI, which have used the GPU marketplace for tasks ranging from AI-powered avatars to enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure. These collaborations underscore the platform’s versatility in meeting diverse computational needs across industries.

Nosana's 2.5X Cost Savings Over Cloud Providers

Messari Research highlighted the platform’s potential to address the growing demand for decentralized AI computing. The report noted that Nosana’s pivot to AI inference in 2023 positioned it to capitalize on surging GPU demand. In 2024, Nosana nodes processed 985,000 jobs, and the platform demonstrated cost savings of up to 2.5X compared to centralized cloud providers.
