Cypherium unveils COLOSSUS-X to mine crypto on idle AI GPUs
- —COLOSSUS-X targets AI accelerators rather than ASICs and requires a 32 GiB dataset growing about 10% a year
- —Cypherium plans Proof-of-Useful-Training to let verifiable AI workloads support consensus
- —It proposed the Cypherium Compute Index, an on-chain benchmark of compute prices for RWAs and perpetuals
- —No benchmarks or profitability data were released, and key features remain in development
Why it matters: Monetizing idle AI GPUs could tie data center economics to blockchain networks, but without performance data the real impact is unclear.
