SkyNet AI Compute Mining is now live and can be easily accessed and managed via SkyNet Control Panel. Now PhoenixNode operators will be able to provide AI compute resources to certain applications in the Phoenix AI Ecosystem, Phoenix native apps (AlphaNet, PhoenixLLM, GenAI), and AI models and tasks run on SkyNet.

Phoenix’s SkyNet AI Elastic Compute Layer now serves as the gateway for deploying and scaling AI compute, backbone for Phoenix ecosystem native AI apps, and the DePIN compute resource management hub for AI node operators.

Phoenix’s unique Elastic Compute AI network model limits the maximum number of nodes to the usage demand and application workload of the platform, which enables minimal waste of AI compute. Additionally, Phoenix employs an efficient ad-hoc microtask-based system instead of a traditional GPU or resource-time rental model.

PhoenixNodes have started the shipping process – those who have pre-ordered in Presale Wave 1 & 2 will expect to receive their orders in October to November. For operators who ordered and have not received their nodes, the Phoenix DAO (at the courtesy of DAO organization member Tensor) has leased at no charge placeholder nodes (equipped with Nvidia A10 GPUs) that will mine equivalent rewards to their PhoenixNodes, effective immediately, until PhoenixNodes ordered are received. Placeholder nodes can also be viewed and managed via SkyNet Control Panel.

These placeholder nodes are hosted via the “colocation/managed” model, an alternative to self-hosted. This is also equivalent to giving certain node operators a trial of the colocation model vs self-hosting on-premise in a residential or office network.

More details via announcement channels & email notification (for node operators) to follow shortly.
