Session
The AI-Horde demonstrates that crowd sourcing computing power for generative AI is viable. Our volunteers provide their resources for overwhelming altruistic reasons, with many believing that generative AI has profound educational and artistic benefit. By providing a platform for those volunteers to offer their compute in a fair and equitable way using our ‘kudos’ system, we have demonstrated that significant ideological will exists to provide these services for free to the public.
