Nosana's GPU marketplace aims for scalable and affordable AI

Nosana (CRYPTO:NOS), launched in January 2025, is offering a decentralised GPU network that aims to make AI development more accessible and affordable.

This GPU marketplace allows developers to access computing power for training and inference of their AI models while enabling GPU owners to rent out their hardware.

Sjoerd Dijkstra, co-founder of Nosana, outlined the advantages of this approach during a live AMA.

Nosana taps into underutilised resources globally, making it more affordable for companies and developers.

It also minimises delays and speeds up AI testing by processing data closer to the source.

According to Nosana, its marketplace can reduce compute costs by six times.

The marketplace’s applications span industries, including Web3 platforms, healthcare for drug discovery and diagnostics, autonomous vehicles, finance, and AI agents.

Nosana provides templates with pre-built AI models that support LLMs for different needs.

The state-of-the-art AI solutions are optimised for specific use cases, according to Dijkstra.

Sogni AI (a platform for the creative industry), Ocada (runs AI agents), and AlphaNeural (a decentralised marketplace for AI models and datasets) are already benefiting from Nosana's resources.

The platform has partnerships with organisations such as Matrix One, PiKNiK, and Sogni.AI.

The network comprises independent GPU owners and providers such as Render and PikNick.

According to Dijkstra, this mix makes Nosana enterprise-ready, expanding its client base from startups to larger organisations that need robust and compliant compute solutions.

The company completed 985,000 jobs in 2024.

GPU hosts stake $NOS to ensure trusted participants contribute compute power and receive incentives and performance-based bonuses.

According to Dijkstra, decentralisation is key to making AI more accessible, but it is important to ensure security and trust, set standardised protocols and APIs, and use scalable solutions.

Nosana utilises existing hardware, potentially reducing the need for additional energy-intensive data centers.

Nosana is a GPU marketplace built to make AI compute accessible and affordable for businesses and developers.

At the time of reporting, the Nosana (NOS) price was $1.48.
