We recommend this option to support more sustainable use of existing hardware.ShareAI combines technical safeguards with provider agreements to help protect your data.Token exchangeShareAI providers can serve inference for others and earn input and output tokens for the work they contribute. They can then use those tokens for their own inference when they need it.Like energy prosumers who both produce and consume electricity, you can become an AI prosumer: contribute compute when it is idle and use the network when you need it.Fun factIn March 2025, ShareAI became the world’s first platform for AI prosumers. Offset your own AI usage through token exchange, or earn payouts at month-end through paid contributions.CommunityCommunity providers are individuals who share their computing power in exchange for credits or tokens through token exchange.They put otherwise unused compute to work for others across the ShareAI network.ShareAI takes steps to protect your data, and every provider, Community or Company, signs an agreement. For sensitive workloads, we recommend Company providers.CompanyEvery Company provider signs a rigorous agreement. ShareAI’s safeguards extend beyond code to the company’s accountability and reputation.We review where the company is headquartered, who formed it and its ownership structure to understand the ultimate beneficial owners behind it.Region & your personal dataPersonal-data rules differ between countries and regions. A provider can remain subject to the laws of the country where it is established, even when its datacenters are elsewhere.Hosting data in another region does not automatically remove those obligations. Rules where the data is processed, and protections that apply to you, may also matter.Check the provider’s legal entity, processing locations and privacy policy before sharing personal data.Close region informationClose explanationSearching…Explore documentationNo articles found.
