Nosana Monthly - June 2026
June was packed with new releases and community highlights across Nosana 🚀 The Decentralize AI Hackathon officially kicked off, new models and payment options went live, 200+ builders came together in Singapore, and product updates made deploying, funding, and tracking workloads easier ⚡
The Decentralize AI Hackathon Is Live
The future of AI infrastructure should be open, decentralized, and builder-owned.
Nosana and HackerNoon have launched the Decentralize AI Hackathon, a 10-month global hackathon for builders working on open AI infrastructure.
Participants can:
- Submit an idea as a HackerNoon blog post
- Claim free Nosana compute credits
- Build and publish updates as their project evolves
HackerNoon also published a feature exploring why access to GPUs is becoming one of the defining infrastructure challenges in AI.
Centralized vs. Decentralized Compute
Nosana joined Akash Network, Aethir, and io.net for a live discussion about the future of the GPU industry.
The panel explored the differences between centralized and decentralized compute, the challenges facing AI builders, and how alternative infrastructure networks can expand access to GPUs.
Nosana also joined a Victus Global X Space to discuss decentralized infrastructure and the evolving AI compute landscape.
NVIDIA Cosmos 3 Nano Is Live on Nosana
NVIDIA Cosmos 3 Nano is now available to deploy on Nosana.
The 16-billion-parameter model is designed for real-time robotics inference, physical AI applications, and workloads that need to understand and interact with the physical world.

Easier Ways to Start Running Workloads
It is now easier to fund your Nosana account and begin running workloads.
You can verify a payment method to claim free credits or top up your balance whenever you need additional compute.
Nosana also introduced support for purchasing credits with NOS or USDC. Connect your Solana wallet and pay with crypto directly, alongside the existing credit card option.
GPU Compute Hours Added to Nosana Explore
Nosana Explore now displays GPU Compute Hours alongside job count.
Job count alone does not show the full picture because jobs can vary significantly in duration and resource usage. Compute hours provide a clearer view of actual demand and activity across the network.

New CLI Command: nosana job list
A new command has been added to the Nosana CLI.
Run nosana job list to see a complete overview of your posted jobs, including addresses, states, markets, and timestamps, without leaving the terminal.

200+ Builders Created AI Agents in Singapore
More than 200 people came together in Singapore for a one-day AI agent building event organized by Nosana partner The AI Builders.
By 4:30 p.m., most teams had working agents running on live data, with several projects powered by Nosana GPUs.
Congratulations to the winners and everyone who joined the event to build.

The Real Cost of AI Agents
Running an AI agent involves more than a single model request. Tool calls, context windows, repeated reasoning steps, retries, and continuous workloads can all affect infrastructure costs.
This article breaks down where those costs come from and what builders should consider when designing agent-based applications.
Why AI Apps Feel Slow
AI application latency can come from several layers, including model inference, data transfer, orchestration, cold starts, and external tools.
Learn what causes delays and how developers can build more responsive AI applications.
How to Build AI Workflows That Don’t Produce Slop
When an AI workflow repeatedly generates generic or uncommitted output, the prompt is rarely the only problem.
This guide explains how clearer tasks, stronger context, and smaller workflow steps can produce more useful and reliable results.
Can You Mine Crypto With Cloud GPUs?
Cloud GPU mining involves several technical and economic considerations, from workload compatibility to infrastructure costs.
This article explores how mining workloads operate on cloud GPU infrastructure and how they can be run on Nosana.
Build on Nosana
Whether you are experimenting with AI agents, robotics, inference workloads, or open-source AI infrastructure, Nosana gives you access to distributed GPU compute without relying on traditional cloud providers.
From new ways to deploy and pay to fresh models, developer tools, and community events, June brought plenty of progress across the Nosana ecosystem ⚡
More updates are already on the way. Keep building, exploring, and sharing what you create with Nosana! 🚀
