Business Plan
Inside your Cluster: Pod Stacks, Pods and Sales Volume
4 min read
The Cluster is the tool that turns ANTARI's mission, AI built by people, into reality. Understanding its parts makes every other section of the Business Plan easier to follow.
The Cluster: your home base
Every Partner and Builder receives a Cluster, a personal virtual space in ANTARI. Your Cluster ID is your identifier in the ANTARI network: it connects you to Customers, and anyone who joins through it becomes a branch of your Grid.
Pod Stacks: your infrastructure
Inside your Cluster you can install Pod Stacks, cloud GPU resources that power your business. Holding Pod Stacks is what makes a Partner a Builder.
Sales Volume: the common measure
Volumes and thresholds in the plan are measured in Sales Volume (SV). As a general rule, SV is 50% of the USD amount (this may change depending on the price list).
| Item | Sales Volume |
|---|---|
| 1 Pod Stack | 250 SV |
| 1 Basic Plan | 10 SV |
SV is used for sales volume (what moves through your Grid) and for thresholds (for example 100 and 500 direct SV for Grid Sharing Earning, and 500 SV owned for the Infrastructure Pool).
Pods: running your Customers' AI
On your Pod Stack resources you create Pods. Each Pod runs a Customer's AI through the Customer's AI Plan, and is ready to grow with you.
Allocation: resources in use
The share of your Pod Stack resources assigned to Customers' Pods is your allocation. It matters for two streams:
- Pod Earning: 20% resale on the resources allocated to your direct users.
- Infrastructure Pool: you need at least 50 SV allocated out of at least 500 SV owned, which is a minimum of 10% allocation.
In short
Cluster (your space) → Pod Stacks (your resources) → Pods (your Customers' AI) → allocation (resources in use).
