Bread AI – decentralized AI inference using spare GPUs
Why BREAD existsThe GPUs to run AI already exist. They are sitting in people's PCs.Most AI today runs in a handful of hyperscale data centres: new buildings, new power lines, new hardware, all so a request can be answered somewhere far away. Meanwhile millions of capable graphics cards sit idle at home most of the day.BREAD AI makes better use of computing hardware that already exists.

Why BREAD existsThe GPUs to run AI already exist. They are sitting in people's PCs.Most AI today runs in a handful of hyperscale data centres: new buildings, new power lines, new hardware, all so a request can be answered somewhere far away. Meanwhile millions of capable graphics cards sit idle at home most of the day.BREAD AI makes better use of computing hardware that already exists. Every request is routed to an independent GPU that would otherwise be idle, the owner is paid in BREAD for the work, and no new hyperscale infrastructure has to be built for the workload to run. Not every AI job needs a data centre. Most of them just need a spare GPU and a fair way to pay for it.
Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at Breadai.
