Recently, I chatted with a few buddies and found that everyone is focused on the AI track.

NVIDIA's stock price has skyrocketed, and news about various large models is everywhere. However, for us retail investors, apart from expressing some sentiments in the group, it seems like we really have no sense of participation.

Where is it stuck? Isn't it because the costs are too outrageous?

What is the price of an H100 graphics card now? It starts at several tens of thousands of dollars, enough to cover a car down payment. Want to participate in this wave of AI hardware dividends? If you don't have some savings in your pocket, you won't even be able to touch the door.

Buy a whole card? The wallet doesn’t agree. Hang out with the mining farm? They operate on a large scale, while we small retail investors simply can’t compete. Is this wave of wealth code really out of our reach?

However, I recently noticed a pretty interesting gameplay - the GAIB project, which seems to open up a new avenue for us regular players.

What they are doing can be summed up in four words: computing power tokenization.

Does it sound a bit mysterious? Let me put it another way so you can understand.

Have you seen the news about crowdfunding to buy a house? A mansion worth tens of millions is unaffordable for one person, but if the ownership is divided into ten thousand shares, each costing one thousand, then it becomes feasible.

The logic of GAIB is similar to this. They procure batches of those high-end graphics cards that we can't even afford—such as the H100 and A100, these computing monsters—and then split the ownership and profit rights of these hardware.

What is it拆成? It拆成 tokens.

Although you can't afford a whole card, you can buy a small portion of the token, which is equivalent to holding a part of the rights of this card. When the card is running computing tasks to earn money, the tokens you hold can also share in the profits.

The threshold has suddenly dropped.

It used to be a game for the wealthy, but now it has become something we can participate in as well. No need to buy hardware ourselves, no need to worry about maintenance costs, and no need to worry about technology iterating too quickly and causing depreciation. Holding tokens is equivalent to indirectly holding computing power assets.

This model is somewhat like turning AI hardware into a decentralized sharing economy. Everyone contributes money, shares the profits, and the risks are also diluted.

Of course, this is just a direction I've recently observed. It is certain that the demand for AI computing power is increasing, but how to allow ordinary people to participate is indeed a question worth paying attention to.

The idea of tokenizing computing power with GAIB at least provides a possibility.
