Steering Committee #43, meeting held September 3, 2026 (notes published October 12):
- Supply expansion remains a priority as demand grows for GPUs such as H200s and B300s. Akash representatives attended Data Cloud 2026 in Austin.
- Joe Deng highlighted the new Provider Search Program: a $50 bounty for identifying qualifying data centers that directly own their compute, plus $1,000 if a sourced data center signs a deal.
- AEP work includes Compute Offers, VM support, bare-metal, ARM64 (in final testing), TEE functionality and provider verification. AEP 86 (provider verification) is entering initial implementation, and Provider Console will change as a result.
- The Client team launched improvements to the Akash Console funding experience. The Student Ambassador Program is expanding, and monthly Fireside Chats continue.
