Acurast Deploys Laya AI Decision Model Across 280,000-Smartphone Network
- —Laya's 421M-parameter model runs on smartphone CPUs without dedicated GPUs
- —Decisions take 0.2–1 second and come with cryptographic proof
- —Network grew to 280,000+ smartphones across 175 countries, 918M transactions
- —Device operators earn ACU tokens for providing compute capacity
Why it matters: The deployment shows decentralized networks of consumer devices can handle AI workloads that would otherwise require centralized cloud infrastructure.
