There is only one way to reach the scale here and now: tap into the most abundant pool of compute -> upcycle the compute from existing, no longer used, smartphones.

well over 1B of top-notch CPU's are put into drawers every year.

.@auchenberg calculated that Muse needs 65,000 CPUs and 75PB of DRAM to serve 100 million users. That's $2.8B in infra for one app.

It made me think. Facebook alone has over 3 billion users. That's nearly 300x scale for one platform. And they have more platforms with similar numbers.

Just do the math. There aren't enough CPUs in the world to run all of this. A worrisome constraint we're heading toward.

Four of the biggest AI providers degraded inside the same window yesterday. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok.

No confirmed shared cause, but when an entire category of software runs through a small number of providers in a small number of regions, you don't need a common cause to get a common outcome.

Most companies now carry an AI dependency they have never tested against absence. No fallback, no degraded mode, no answer to the question of what the product does when the model doesn't respond.

We think about this a lot at @Acurast, for obvious reasons. But the question stands whatever infrastructure you run on: how concentrated is your stack, and who gets to make decisions about it?

big number, big milestone!

Rebels,

We dit it. We crossed 1,000,000,000 on-chain transactions.

550M in January. A billion in August. Still climbing.

Contributors keeping the code moving, providers holding up the capacity, developers shipping on top of it. Thank you all, this is your milestone.

On we go🚀

The idea of upcycling smartphones is starting to get mass media attention.

www.foxnews.com Google turns old phones into cloud servers Google says UC San Diego plans to launch a 2,000 Pixel phone data center in fall 2026, turning retired smartphone motherboards into low-carbon servers.

🦾🤳 A long-standing partnership pushing the boundaries of robotics.

Automated machines need reliable infrastructure. Together with @peaqnetwork, we're fueling robots with on-demand compute upcycled from the most scalable form of compute on earth: smartphones. 🧠🦾☁️

Robots and machines running peaqOS just plugged into @Acurast's phone-powered cloud

Acurast is now live on peaq's robotic.sh, running on @base

Any machine can now deploy a compute job to a network of hardware-secured smartphones and pay per deployment

No account, no API key

→ peaqOS provides identity, discovery, and coordination
→ Acurast runs the job on TEE-secured phones
