Gonka vs Vast.ai

Developers send requests through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint and pay for usage in GNK

A transformer-based proof-of-work mechanism aims to direct nearly all participating hardware at AI inference rather than at separate security computation

GPU owners register as hosts, post collateral, run ML nodes, and are rewarded based on the amount and quality of compute they contribute

Documented bootstrap procedures for hosting models such as DeepSeek, Kimi, and MiniMax across the network

Developers can run their own gateway and broker setup instead of relying on a shared entry point

Ethereum bridge and IBC routes for moving GNK and USDT in and out of the network

Prices set by supply and demand across the platform with no list prices or hidden fees

GPU Cloud for full control, Serverless for zero-ops inference, Clusters for large-scale training

CLI, Python SDK, and REST API for programmatic GPU provisioning, installed together via a single package

API-native workflow intended for AI agents to search, procure, and release compute autonomously

Prebuilt templates for popular open-source models, plus custom templates any GPU can run with one click

Scale from $5 to 20,000 GPUs across 40+ data centers without contracts or minimums
