> **Visual Note:** The image is a graphic comparing GPU cloud pricing and features between io.net and RunPod, displayed in two octagonal badges separated by a "VS" label.

This visual relates to the post by framing io.net as a competitive alternative to established GPU providers like RunPod, emphasizing io.net's positioning as a more accessible and decentralized compute option without waitlists, inventory caps, or hyperscaler markups.  

> 
> "You shouldn't need a waitlist to train a model.

You shouldn't be capped by one company's GPU inventory.

You shouldn't pay hyperscaler margins for compute that's sitting idle somewhere else.

Compute is a global resource. 
io.net treats it like one."

> **Visual Note:** A podcast promotional graphic for Dealflow's Episode #53 featuring a black-and-white portrait of Gaurav Dhillon, CEO of io.net, set against a blue background with geometric accents. The headline reads "He Built the Internet's Plumbing for 16 Years. Now He's Doing It for AI," tying into the episode's discussion about his transition from building traditional internet infrastructure (at Akamai) to now powering AI compute through his decentralized GPU marketplace io.net.

> **Visual Note:** The image shows an io.net branded graphic titled "One month of the IDE," featuring an octagonal badge with "IDE" inside. It complements the post highlighting io.net's first-month IDE milestones, including over 1.1 million $IO burned from 122,000+ device hours and 2.5 million $IO distributed as rewards.  

> 
> "IDE’nin ilk ayı.

11 Haziran’dan bu yana 1,1 milyondan fazla 
$IO
 yakıldı.

Bu yakımların arkasında 122 binden fazla cihaz saati bulunuyor.

2,5 milyon 
$IO
 ödül olarak dağıtıldı.

Müşteriler tarafından desteklenen bir token modeli tam olarak böyle görünür.

Kullanım tokenı yakar."

> "Exactly the flywheel. Smaller models don't just fit on more hardware — they fit on hardware people already own. That's the unlock. Suppliers aren't buying rigs for 
io.net. They're plugging in what's already sitting idle. Efficiency gains turn "spare GPU" into"
