Pavel Durov launched Cocoon — a decentralized network for GPUs
Pavel Durov launched “Uber for graphics cards”. The decentralized network Cocoon – this is an attempt to rewrite the rules of the game with artificial intelligence.
“It happened. Our decentralized private computing network, Cocoon, is launched”, Durov announced. The first requests for artificial intelligence are already being processed with “100% privacy”. GPU owners receive TON cryptocurrency. The source code is available.
The scheme is simple. Owners of powerful graphics cards at the H100 level rent out their capacities and earn. Developers use these capacities for artificial intelligence tasks cheaper and completely anonymously, without fear of data leaks.
“Centralized computing providers like Amazon and Microsoft act as expensive intermediaries that raise prices and reduce privacy”, Durov explains. According to him, Cocoon solves both issues. Economic and confidential.
“Now we are scaling”, the creator of Telegram promises. Over the next few weeks they will be connecting more GPUs and attracting developers. Telegram users can expect new features related to artificial intelligence built on “100% privacy”.
It turns out, Durov promises to return control and privacy to where they should be — to users. And we will get a smart bot right in Telegram. Free and supposedly anonymous. Do we believe it?

Companies are bringing back 5% of those fired due to AI implementation failureMany companies began bringing back employees fired because of artificial intelligence. Analytics company Visier studied employment data of 2.5 million employees from 142 companies worldwide. About 5% of fired employees subsequently returned to their previous employer. This indicator remained stable for several years, but recently began to rise.
