Overview

Hosting, Cloud & Compute covers where AI agents physically run — from hyperscale clouds to personal hardware. Google Cloud and AWS are building enterprise agentic commerce stacks (AP2, Bedrock AgentCore).

Cloudflare co-founded the x402 Foundation and is building authentication for agentic commerce with Visa and Mastercard. Decentralized alternatives like Akash (1,000+ GPUs, 85% cheaper than hyperscalers) and Heurist provide censorship-resistant AI infrastructure.

Nous Research contributes open-source models trained on distributed Solana compute. The self-hosting tier is significant: Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Contabo, and OVHcloud offer affordable VPS/GPU servers for running OpenClaw and open-source models.

Even Apple's Mac Mini with M4 chips can run local LLMs and agent harnesses. Venice.ai bridges both worlds with privacy-first inference and a VVV token economy for staking compute capacity.

Treza Labs adds ZK-KYC and privacy infrastructure using secure enclaves for agents that need cryptographic proof of execution.
