Fluence is a DePIN enabling a cloudless compute platform that provides a resilient, open and low-cost alternative to traditional cloud computing. The platform aggregates CPU resources from enterprise-grade data centers around the world in a global, decentralizde, resilient and cost-effective DePIN platform, allowing users to go cloudless and avoid vendor lock-in and subjective deplatforming.
A total of $2,000 [$1,000 cash prize + $1,000 in Fluence Credits] will be awarded to the most impactful use of Fluence for AI workloads.
Goal
Demonstrate a working AI project using CPU-only VMs from Fluence.
Expectations
Efficient AI application deployed on Fluence VMs. Examples: small/quantized models, inference APIs, agentic LLM backends. Ideally, build toward CPU-only compatibility, no GPUs required.
