Everything Bagel: Open Source AI, Security, and Decentralization with Greg Osuri, Akash Founder

The Index Podcast

Can small, agile teams outpace massive, well-funded engineering orgs in AI and open-source innovation?

Co-hosts Alex Kehaya & Bidhan Roy, Founder of Bagel Network joins Greg Osuri, Founder of Akash Network, for a deep dive into the open-source AI stack, decentralization, and the engineering principles behind lean, high-impact teams.

Greg shares how Akash is revolutionizing cloud computing with decentralized infrastructure, the power of Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) for AI model validation, and why small, focused developer teams consistently outperform bloated, overfunded projects.

Key Dev Insights:
✅ Scaling open-source AI with decentralized computing
✅ ZKPs & AI security—why cryptographic proofs are the future of model validation
✅ Building with constraints—why limited funding fuels better engineering decisions
✅ Community-driven dev—how Akash leverages contributors for rapid iteration

Join us for an engineering-first discussion on the future of decentralized AI and why lean, open-source teams are leading the way.
