Ilkhom Sidikov

Software Engineer at io.net, working on AI compute infrastructure. Ilkhom joined as one of the first engineers and now helps scale a global network of GPUs serving LLMs that process 5B+ tokens daily on OpenRouter.

Lately he's been working on the agentic edge of that: an MCP server that lets AI agents rentand pay for GPUs end-to-end over Stripe x402 with no human in the loop, and a dynamic pricingengine that reprices models in real time from utilization, live demand, and market rates.
