Our Mission
Five companies control AI access for eight billion people. They set the price. They choose who gets access. They decide what AI can say.
There is an alternative.
Three Steps to Free AI
1. Contribute
Share a fraction of your idle hardware — RAM, CPU, or GPU. Your work always takes priority. SharedLLM pauses automatically when you need your machine back.
2. Earn Credits
Every resource you share earns credits. Use them for AI inference or let them accumulate. The more you give, the more you get back from the network.
3. Use AI
Access powerful open-source language models through an OpenAI-compatible API. Free tier for everyone. No credit card required. No vendor lock-in.
Why SharedLLM?
Your computer sits idle most of the day. Share a fraction. Get free AI in return.
- 10-50% of idle power — You choose the percentage. Your machine, your rules. It auto-pauses when you need resources.
- Runs in the background — One command to start. SharedLLM stays quiet, uses only spare cycles you're not using.
- Free AI access — Earn credits for every contribution. Use them for powerful language models via a simple API.
Big AI vs SharedLLM
| Big AI | SharedLLM |
|---|
| Cost | $500+ per month for API access | Free to start. Community-powered inference. |
| Privacy | Every prompt logged and analyzed | Zero knowledge. We can't read your data. |
| Lock-in | Proprietary APIs, no way out | Open source. No vendor lock-in. Ever. |
No Country Left Behind
Currently in beta with live nodes. Our goal is to bring community-powered AI to every country.
From Dakar to Dhaka, from Lima to Lagos — we're building AI infrastructure that serves everyone.
What We're Building Toward
For Educators: A teacher in a region where AI tools are too expensive or blocked could create personalized lesson plans for an entire school — for free.
For Builders: A developer building a crop advisory chatbot for local farmers could prototype and launch using the free tier — no credit card, no vendor lock-in.
For Students: Students could translate and summarize research papers across languages, accessing knowledge locked behind expensive paywalls.

Where We're Going
Phase 1 (Now): Shared Inference
Pool community hardware to serve open-source language models. Anyone can contribute and earn credits.

Collaboratively fine-tune models for specific languages and domains. Your data stays yours.
Phase 3 (2027): Collective Training
Train foundation models from scratch. Community-owned AI, from weights to deployment.
Privacy by Design
- Zero-knowledge inference — we can't read your prompts
- No logs, no tracking, no analytics on your usage
- End-to-end encrypted communication between nodes
What Big AI Knows About You
Your full name, email address, every prompt you've ever sent, your IP and location, your usage patterns, and your billing information.
What SharedLLM Knows About You
Nothing. We literally cannot see your data. That's the point.
