Look, OpenGradient says it wants to fix one real problem: AI infrastructure is becoming concentrated in the hands of a few cloud giants. Fair point. But I've seen this movie before. The proposed cure often adds another layer of coordination, verification, token incentives, and governance that makes the system harder—not simpler.
Let's be honest. The marketing celebrates decentralization. It says much less about who pays for the GPUs, who fixes outages, and whether businesses will trust a distributed network over established cloud providers. If the economics don't work without token speculation, the technology alone won't save it.
The real test isn't the white paper. It's whether people still choose OpenGradient after the hype fades and the monthly infrastructure bills arrive.
