Gonka AMA: DevShards & Adding New Models
September 19, 2026
In this new Gonka Product Committee AMA, contributors discuss two major technical tracks: DevShards and the process for adding new models to the network.
Key topics in the episode:
- why Gonka needs DevShards and how they help move part of the inference workload beyond the base network layer;
- what throughput limits appeared as the number of GPUs and inference requests grew;
- how DevShard participants coordinate, verify each other’s work, and report results back to the main network;
- why adding new models requires more than choosing a model: testing, parameters, economic rules, and infrastructure all have to be prepared;
- how the team thinks about scaling Gonka for more GPUs, more users, and more supported models.
The video is useful for anyone following Gonka’s inference infrastructure and the protocol-level changes being prepared for larger-scale usage.
