Microsoft’s New Focus on CPUs Validates Qubic’s Decentralised AGI Vision

Microsoft’s recent BitNet development optimises AI inference for greater efficiency, using a CPU-centric model rather than traditional GPU reliance. This new focus highlights the untapped potential of CPUs in high-performance AI - an approach that resonates strongly with Qubic’s own CPU-based architecture designed for Aigarth, its decentralised AGI initiative. By prioritising CPUs over GPUs, BitNet and Qubic independently highlight a growing trend toward sustainable AI development.

Efficiency and Accessibility: Why Qubic Prioritises CPUs

GPUs have traditionally dominated the AI landscape, yet they come with high energy demands and financial costs. Qubic's Useful Proof of Work (UPoW) model uses CPUs to repurpose computational power for AI training. By making CPU-based participation viable, Qubic enables a broader network of miners to contribute to Aigarth without the cost and energy drain of GPUs. 

Microsoft’s BitNet Validation: A Global Trend Toward Sustainable AI

Microsoft’s BitNet demonstrates that a CPU-first approach can yield substantial speed and energy savings, enhancing AI's sustainability at scale. BitNet uses 1-bit and ternary computing to reduce resource demands without sacrificing performance, proving that CPUs hold immense potential in powering efficient AI. 

While Microsoft will continue to use GPUs alongside CPUs, Qubic takes a different approach, relying exclusively on CPUs to optimise the balance of sequential and parallel processing. This CPU-only architecture supports AGI’s broader goals without the centralisation constraints often seen in traditional LLM setups.

Qubic’s Unique Advantages Over Microsoft’s Approach

While BitNet offers valuable insights into efficient AI processing, Qubic extends the vision into decentralised AGI development. Here’s how Qubic builds on Microsoft’s CPU innovations to create a transparent, community-driven approach:

Decentralised Efficiency vs. Centralised Control

BitNet, though innovative, remains a centralised model - meaning Microsoft retains authority over AI development and deployment. By centralising AI development, Microsoft’s approach consolidates authority, limiting access and creating potential vulnerabilities. 

In contrast, Qubic opens AGI advancement to a global network. Through UPoW, Qubic’s community-driven network allows miners across the world to contribute to a decentralised AGI initiative, distributing computational resources far beyond the reach of centralised control.

Sustainable Scaling and Community Growth

While BitNet optimises for a centralised infrastructure, Qubic’s scalability grows with its community. Qubic’s network expands as more miners join, providing computational resources without excessive energy costs. This organic scaling fuels AGI’s progress sustainably, aligning with both environmental concerns and decentralised ideals. 

Qubic’s vision is inclusive, ensuring that AGI remains accessible to all. With a decentralised CPU-based network, Qubic empowers a global community to contribute, advancing AGI without the restrictions imposed by centralised control. This difference highlights Qubic’s commitment to an open, transparent future for AGI - one that benefits humanity as a whole.

Decentralisation as the Path to AGI

The AGI Qubic envisions isn’t bound by centralised structures. Instead, it’s a community-powered intelligence, harnessing CPUs across the globe. BitNet’s focus on CPU-centric AI confirms the viability of this model, but Qubic’s decentralised network takes it further - removing barriers and establishing a sustainable, community-driven path to AGI.

As the CPU-led AI movement gains traction, Qubic leads from the front, heading toward an AGI designed for everyone. Microsoft’s new CPU focused approach underscores this vision, yet Qubic’s decentralised framework truly democratises the future of intelligence.
