Bro, Bare Metal just dropped on @io.net !

This is big.

✤ They're talking real hardware — no virtualization, no layers, no BS.

Bare metal = direct access to physical GPU/CPU machines. Full control. Full performance.

And now it’s available on IONet.

✤ So what’s the big deal?

Here’s why this changes the game for AI teams and devs building on the edge:

- Root Access: You control the OS, the drivers, the setup — everything. No shared tenants, no hypervisors slowing you down.

- Launch in Minutes: No contracts, no nonsense. Just deploy and go.

- Custom Environments: Need an Ubuntu version from 2018? Want to tweak kernel settings? You can.

- Perfect for LLM training: Training big models = huge demand for consistent, transparent compute. Bare metal makes it possible.

- Security + Transparency: You know exactly what’s running. Nothing hidden. No noisy neighbors.

In decentralized GPU frameworks like @ionet, bare metal is a huge unlock. It’s the difference between renting a slice of a cloud and owning the machine.

This was previously hard to pull off without big infra ops. Now it’s click-and-go.

✤ Whether you’re building an AI startup or training your 70B parameter model in a garage, you need:

- Total performance visibility

- Low-latency hardware access

- Ability to scale without compromise

✤ All of that is now real: Bare metal

IO Net isn’t just another AI cloud.

It’s bare metal at AI speed.
