Idle-time contribution
Contribute when your eligible machine is available.
Community Providers
A personal machine.A shared AI network.
Individuals and small teams can contribute eligible compute when it fits their day, with supported incentive paths that match their reasons for participating.

The part worth solving
Your machine has a life outside the network.
Work, study and personal projects come first. Participation needs to fit the capacity and availability you can actually offer.
A clearer model
Share at a pace that fits.
Review device eligibility and supported onboarding options. Choose idle-time contribution or a more consistent always-on setup when suitable.
Where it fits
A contribution that fits your setup.
Device onboarding
Review the relevant Windows, Ubuntu, macOS or Docker setup for your hardware.
Your incentive path
Explore Rewards, Exchange or Mission according to program availability.
Choose your motivation
Three ways to put compute to work.
Explore the incentive paths available to eligible Providers. Review the applicable program and device requirements in your Provider workspace.
Money where available
Explore earnings from eligible compute.
Rewards is the monetary incentive path for eligible capacity contributed to the network where available. Review its terms and attributed activity; a connected machine is not a guaranteed income.

AI usage value
Contribute capacity. Participate as a prosumer.
Exchange offers tokens or AI usage value for eligible compute contribution where supported. This connects contributing to the network with using AI under the applicable Exchange terms.

Supported causes
Direct contribution toward a cause.
Choose supported causes where Mission is available. Examples include education, environmental, healthcare, humanitarian and animal welfare initiatives.

What could your capacity look like?
Choose your GPU, set your rates and find out what a fully booked schedule could be worth.

Model, speed & job load
Reference modelLlama 2 7B · Q4_0
Short requests: 512 input tokens and 128 output tokens. Each GPU handles one request at a time.
Have your own benchmark? Replace both speeds. Selecting another GPU restores its reference values.
100% means requests arrive continuously throughout your selected hours. Lower it to account for idle time.
Published speeds come from community llama.cpp tests with Flash Attention off. The RTX 3080 Ti preset uses an RTX 3080 reference; it is an approximation, not a measured 3080 Ti result.
Input processing and output generation share the same time budget. Real throughput also depends on context, software and request overhead. A month is 30 days, with your weekly schedule repeated.

This is a synthetic scenario, not a payout offer. Actual serving and Rewards depend on eligibility, demand and program terms. Exchange and Mission have their own incentives.
A practical scenario
An eligible home machine joins on its own schedule.
An individual contributes available capacity and chooses Exchange where supported, receiving tokens or AI usage value under that program’s terms.

Can any machine become a Provider?
Participation depends on device eligibility and supported configuration. Review the Provider requirements before connecting hardware; no machine is automatically eligible.
Do I need to keep my machine online all the time?
Providers can explore idle-time contribution or always-on contribution. Choose the mode that fits your setup and review availability requirements for the program you select.
Which systems can I use?
Provider onboarding topics include Windows, Ubuntu, macOS and Docker. Review the current instructions for the platform, hardware and serving setup relevant to your device.
Are Rewards, Exchange and Mission the same thing?
They are distinct incentive paths. Rewards offers money where available, Exchange offers tokens or AI usage value, and Mission directs contribution toward supported causes. Applicable terms determine participation.
How do Provider incentives differ from Builder and Creator earnings?
Providers contribute compute. Builders own applications and earn their configured margin on routed AI traffic. Creators own or control model assets and choose their model access terms.
