At DePIN Day Singapore, the 12th edition of the global conference series dedicated to decentralized infrastructure, Tom Trowbridge, co-founder of Fluence, announce a bold new chapter for the protocol: GPU support is live.
“We started with CPU,” said Tom, “and we’ve built a strong pipeline of use cases in decentralized node provisioning. That alone is a billion-dollar market. But with GPUs, we’re stepping into a $150 billion space”
By expanding beyond CPUs, Fluence now unlocks access to one of the most in-demand resources in the digital world: GPUs for AI model training.
💡 Why GPU Support Matters
The AI boom has triggered a massive surge in demand for high-performance compute. Startups, research labs, and even established companies often face a common bottleneck: access to affordable GPUs.
Fluence aims to solve this by introducing a decentralized GPU marketplace, offering:
- 70–80% lower costs compared to centralized clouds
- Shorter-duration contracts for more flexible scaling
- An open, permissionless network to access compute on demand
This model redefines who gets to build the future of AI.
“Instead of relying on hyperscalers who can spend billions on data centers, smaller teams can now train models on decentralized infrastructure,” Tom explained. “That’s the vision of Fluence — making powerful infrastructure available to everyone.”
🌐 Fluence’s Vision
Fluence is creating the backbone of a new compute economy. With real-world clients already live and three showcased on stage during DePIN Day, the protocol is quickly turning vision into traction.
Tom emphasized that this launch is a beginning:
“We’re excited to keep building features that enable us to scale with what our users actually want.”
And for those looking for GPU access today?
“If you’re looking for GPUs — cheaper, decentralized, and on-demand — come to Fluence. We can help.”
