Render Network

Wrapped an incredible Space on AI x Decentralized Compute with legends from Renderlabs, @rendernetwork, @ManifestAIs, @thinkagents, Jember, and @scryptedinc a few hours ago.

Here’s a recap of insights, mic-drops, and what’s next🧵

Wondering where AI, decentralized compute, and privacy are heading?

Tune in to today’s Space with the @rendernetwork Foundation, @ManifestAIs, @CottenIO, @mikeyanderson @thinkagents, and RenderLabs to find out.

.@Andreylebrov’s latest workflow combines Houdini, Octane Standalone, and @rendernetwork to make massive-scale VFX rendering easy from a MacBook.

1/ What’s the latest with RNP-019, the community proposal that makes way for the new Render Compute Network?

As you may remember, RNP-019 was passed in April to create a new compute network for AI and general compute workloads.

In this week’s X Space, @AndreyLebrov previewed a powerful new way to work – pairing the assembly strengths of Octane Standalone with the distributed rendering power of @rendernetwork.

From batched Houdini workflows to differential uploads, he’s streamlining cinematic VFX into a modular, scalable system - one that’s already delivering Hollywood-level results.

This Friday, @rendernetwork Foundation + @ManifestAIs are collaborating to host a Spaces alongside @CottenIO, @thinkagents’s @mikeyanderson, and RenderLabs on what’s next in AI, decentralized compute, and privacy.

Co-hosted by the @rendernetwork Foundation + @Manifest_AI, this Spaces will touch on the latest trends around decentralized compute, AI, and privacy

Featuring RenderLabs @proales, Render Network’s @drjonessf, @thinkagents’s @mikeyanderson, and others

In 7 days, we’ll be at @Permissionless discussing how DeAI computing will be an advantage for devs.

Catch @drjonessf, on the DePIN x AI Confluence panel, June 24th.

Today’s the day! We’re catching up with @AndreyLebrov to talk all things Octane SA, Houdini, and how he’s leveraging @rendernetwork for high-end 3D and VFX rendering

This Monday, we’re hosting a special Spaces with 3D artist @AndreyLebrov🔥

He’ll walk through his new Octane Standalone workflow using the LMI Houdini Octane Suite and @rendernetwork

"Render Network has already opened many doors…”
That includes Ulli Schulz’s current project: a massive 3,000-frame futuristic city for a @netflix short. 🔥

Get a look into his creative process from motion to render.

AI workloads are increasingly about inference, offline machine learning, and edge learning.

Use cases are abundant: generative AI apps, AI agents, and even AI-assisted rendering (for static visuals, video, or, specifically, film).

The Render Network Foundation Monthly Report for May 2025 is here! Highlights:
🚨 Compute waitlist open
🧠 AI-optimized nodes launching
⚙️ New tools: @Blender Cycles, @OTOY Octane 2025.1, Iterate with AI
🏆 Render Royale May winners
📢 RNDR → RENDER upgrade reminder

Announced at #WWDC25, an updated Background Tasks API is an exciting window into the future of high performance mobile creation workflows.

As @JulesUrbach has shared, these Apple Silicon advances, augmented by near unlimited GPU compute power are an important primitive for the scaling of spatial computing

Render Network just got spotlighted as one of three projects truly building where AI meets crypto!

From Hollywood-level rendering to AI compute onchain. A decentralized model that’s not just about compute.
It's about building and community participation from the bottom up.
