Cal Hacks 11.0 Project

AIRPOOL

Project Flow

About Us

Airpool is open-source decentralized network that allows individuals and startups to contribute their unused GPU resources. By pooling these resources, we create a shared infrastructure for distributing computational services that are accessible to small companies and developers. This empowers them to tackle sophisticated AI models and perform large-scale data analysis without heavy upfront investment in GPU hardware.
