Eigen AI has no connection to EigenLayer, but $643m for inference optimization is still a DePIN shot across the bow. Raw GPU markets like Akash and Render now compete against neoclouds that own scheduling, model routing, utilization, and token-per-watt economics end to end. If Nebius squeezes more output from the same Nvidia inventory, decentralized compute has to win on verifiable cost and latency, not the “open marketplace” narrative.
