Decentralized AI Training Booms: 20x Growth Leading Centralized Solutions

Decentralized training technology is growing rapidly, with annual computational scale increasing by 20 times, far surpassing the 5-fold growth of centralized training. Its advantages lie in enhanced data security and fault tolerance. Although it is still 1000 times smaller than centralized solutions, the technology is highly feasible and has the potential to support broader collaborative development.

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】An interesting technological trend worth paying attention to—decentralized training is rapidly growing. According to in-depth research by Epoch AI (analyzing over 100 papers), the computational scale in this area is exploding at a rate of 20 times per year, far surpassing the 5 times annual growth rate of centralized training.

Why is it growing so fast? The core advantage boils down to two words: security. By enabling distributed learning across multiple nodes, it not only better protects data privacy but also significantly enhances system fault tolerance.

In reality, decentralized training is currently about 1,000 times smaller than cutting-edge centralized solutions, a clear gap. But this is not a fatal problem—technologically, it is entirely feasible. With the release of network effects, it is entirely possible to support broader groups working together to develop more powerful models. In other words, distributed AI training is not a distant future but an ongoing present.

20x growth? That's way too outrageous. Is it real?

20x growth rate takes off directly, this is true overtaking on a bend... Privacy and security indeed hit the pain point.

20x growth rate? That data is a bit outrageous, feels like just hype Now it's 1000 times less, talk is cheap Privacy and security measures have to wait until they are actually attacked to know if they are reliable It still depends on who is actually using it, not just hype in papers When a real large model runs on decentralized systems, I might believe it This technology should have been mainstream long ago, why is it still obscure Privacy issues, users might not even care Centralized training definitely produces stronger results, gotta admit that Sounds good in theory, but why is it so hard to implement in practice I'll bet that within three years, centralized solutions will still dominate It's a good point, but who is responsible for data consistency? Network effect sounds great, but actually rolling it out is very challenging

Is the 20x growth rate data real? Why do I feel like it's just hype again... But I have to say, this time there is indeed some substance. However, with a 1000x difference, what's the point of talking about the present tense? It feels like we might have to wait another five or ten years. As for privacy and security, those are genuine needs, but I just wonder if retail investors can really get a share of the pie.

20x growth? No way, are you joking? Distributed AI training is really about to turn things around.

The 20x growth rate is indeed outrageous, but a 1000x difference is no joke... Can it really catch up?

A 20x growth rate sounds great, but a 1000x difference can't be made up just by bragging.
