Today, high performance AI compute is controlled by a few monopolies. Decentralized compute networks (DCNs) democratize access to AI hardware, but have struggled with reliability issues. Quok.it's software transforms DCNs from unreliable alternatives into production-ready, accessible infrastructure.
