Chutes roadmap: cut loss-making inference, push hourly rentals and edge nodes
jon_durbin · x · 2026-10-27
Jon Durbin lays out Chutes' near-term roadmap: moving unprofitable inference off the Bittensor subnet, adding revenue-positive offerings (hourly pricing, Docker jobs, TEE private inference), extending hourly compute to CPU-only workloads for agents and sandboxes, training/serving models outside datacenters, and building non-extractable products via dynamic edge nodes. He criticizes NVIDIA's 75% margins and argues for keeping value inside the subnet rather than flowing to datacenters and single hardware vendors.
