In the case of Brave, genuinely curious: Is there any reason this needs to be on a public blockchain? What are the benefits? Why is this a better solution than Brave keeping points/payments data in their own database?

Hey panabee, pricing is definitely something I want to iterate on. I wanted to start off simple and then move to tiered pricing based on what type of model you're running, whether you need CPU/GPU and tiers of execution time. Let&

Great question! My goal with Deepserve.ai is to be drastically easier than the big cloud providers, with less lock-in. Rather than giving you infinite configurability with low-level primitives, I want to give you an easy, scalable solution
