The Internet is the Datacenter: How Templar is Building the Final Form of Decentralized AI Training

For eighty years, the most powerful technologies have required concentration: co-located machines in fortress datacenters, tightly controlled by those who could afford the infrastructure. This week's research breakthrough from Templar marks something different, a technical path toward intelligence as genuinely distributed public infrastructure, where your home GPU can train frontier models alongside Google's datacenters.

The Long Run: What Running Taught Me About Building Decentralized AI (and What Decentralized AI Taught Me About Running)

Three years ago, I wouldn't have believed I'd be training for a half marathon while helping coordinate a decentralized AI protocol. But both journeys—the solo morning miles and the collective effort to democratize artificial intelligence—are guided by the same philosophy.
