what's lium?
Lium is a decentralized GPU compute network built as a subnet on the Bittensor blockchain. It operates as a permissionless peer-to-peer marketplace that connects providers of idle high-performance GPUs with renters needing affordable compute resources for AI and other intensive workloads. Users can supply or rent GPU power without KYC requirements, using cryptocurrency for payments. The platform features a web interface at lium.io for easily spinning up GPU instances from a global pool of contributed machines. Lium aims to democratize access to GPU resources, competing with centralized providers by offering competitive pricing, such as A100 GPUs at 43 cents per hour.
Lium's $57M market cap ranks second among Bittensor subnets, trailing Chutes AI.
