In response to growing GPU demand from the AI and crypto mining industries, Clore.ai aims to offer access to high-end computing resources and provide scalable alternatives.
Graphics processing units (GPU) are in high demand in sectors that require high computing performance, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and crypto mining. While research estimates the GPU market size to be around $65 billion, this value is expected to reach $274 billion in 2029.
It is not surprising that Nvidia, the dominant player in the GPU market, outperforms Bitcoin (BTC) in growth and challenges Apple with its stock market value of $2.5 trillion.
However, Nvidia’s high-performance GPUs can cost around $40,000, setting up a massive barrier to joining the high-end game where tasks like AI training or film rendering reside. This channels most users and small businesses to rent GPUs instead of purchasing them.
The GPU rental industry is also not immune to challenges from the renter’s side. The cost of purchasing and maintaining powerful GPU hardware is high. Moreover, it is imperative to establish a robust security infrastructure and offer users data privacy.
Optimizing GPU power allocation for users’ needs
Clore.ai, a Web3 marketplace where anyone can rent a ‘distributed supercomputer,’ aims to address the industry’s issues and make high-performance computing more accessible. The company uses AI-supported resource management tools to optimize resource allocation and offers access to GPU computing nodes from community members worldwide.

Researchers and developers can rent GPUs compatible with various deep learning frameworks and prioritize data security to achieve faster results at a lower cost.
Crypto miners, on the other hand, can potentially avoid high energy costs and the need for regular hardware maintenance by renting up-to-date GPUs that deliver fast and reliable results.
Filmmakers and animators can achieve professional-quality results with GPUs that reduce rendering time and are compatible with different rendering software.
Proof of hold and Hive OS integration
Clore users can access GPU rental services with BTC or the platform’s native token, CLORE. The platform uses a system called proof of hold to offer a more competitive pricing model compared to similar platforms. In its system, CLORE token users access various benefits, including a 50% discount on service fees. With a maximum supply of 1.3 billion, CLORE was launched without an initial coin offering (ICO) or a pre-mining event.

With version 5.1, Clore has enhanced its integration with Hive OS, an operating system designed for managing crypto mining hardware. It enables users to mine in the underground while their operations are under Clore’s management. When another user rents their farm, mining will automatically pause and then resume after the rental period ends, all without any action needed from the original user.
The backbone of AI development
Clore launched Clore OS, which provides an integrated user experience for managing GPU rental transactions. The company is actively developing a VPN service to enhance user privacy and plans to launch it soon. Additionally, Clore is finalizing a comprehensive update to its marketplace to streamline user interactions.

The company is pursuing strategic partnerships to expand its reach. Reflecting on the future, Clore CEO John Chase remarked, “As AI continues to advance, the demand for high-performance computing resources will skyrocket.”
Envisioning a future where GPU rentals become the backbone of AI development, he added:
“GPU rentals will democratize access to powerful computational resources, enabling researchers, startups and enterprises to innovate without the prohibitive costs of owning and maintaining hardware.”
As the demand for high-performance computing surges, particularly with the advancement of AI, the accessibility of powerful GPUs will be crucial in leveling the playing field. By democratizing access to these resources, GPU rentals empower researchers, developers, and creatives alike to push the boundaries of what is possible without the significant financial burden of hardware ownership.
