Akash Network’s compute utilization rate hit 60% in 2025, up 20%, with 1,000 petaflops leased, driven by AI workloads—50% of demand, like RNDR’s NVIDIA partnership, per prior data. At $0.01/flop, Akash undercuts AWS’s $0.05, attracting 500,000 users. However, 40% of capacity remains idle due to 20% node downtime and lack of enterprise adoption—only 10% of clients are firms like Microsoft. Utilization may reach 70% by 2026 if Akash adds 200 petaflops via partnerships, but a 15% price hike to $0.015 could deter 20% of users, shifting them to centralized providers. Akash’s $2 billion market cap could grow 10%, though competition from Filecoin’s 1,000 PB storage may cap its share.
