Stillcore Capital announced an investment in Lium.io, the compute marketplace running Bittensor Subnet 51, which rents high-performance GPU pods aimed at agent workloads.
- A single CLI command (pip install lium.io && lium up --gpu A100) spins up a pod; roughly 108 pods are currently listed.
- Sample pricing: B200 spot at $44.42/hr ($5.55/GPU-hr), RTX 4090 at $6.8/hr ($0.85/GPU-hr), and H100 80GB around $19.4-19.6/hr ($2.45/GPU-hr), with 98-100% reliability.
- The pitch is aggregating decentralized compute via Bittensor to undercut traditional GPU rental prices.
