What is c0mpute?
c0mpute is a decentralized AI inference network. Instead of routing your prompts through corporate data centers, c0mpute connects you directly to a distributed network of GPU workers — regular people sharing their compute power.
AI powered by people, not data centers.
How it works
You send a message. The orchestrator finds an available worker. The worker runs the model on their GPU and streams tokens back to you in real-time. No middleman logging your prompts. No corporate filter deciding what you're allowed to ask.
Two tiers
| Tier | Model | Cost | Where it runs | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | Qwen3 8B Uncensored | 10 credits | Browser (WebGPU) | ~4.3GB / 6GB VRAM, uncensored |
| Max | Qwen3.5 27B abliterated | 15 credits (20 with deep thinking) | Native workers | uncensored + web search + vision |
Credits and the $ZERO token
Inference is paid for with credits. 1 credit = $0.01, bought with USDC. You don't need any token to use c0mpute.
- Top up credits with USDC; they're spent per message based on your selected tier
- Workers earn 70% of the USD value of the credits spent on jobs they complete (80% if they stake), paid in USDC
$ZERO is a separate, value-accrual token. Network revenue automatically buys it back and burns it, and pays a share to everyone who stakes it.
See The $ZERO Token for the full breakdown.
The stack
- Browser workers use WebGPU via WebLLM to run models directly in the browser tab
- Native workers use ollama with CUDA, Metal, or Vulkan acceleration
- The orchestrator is a Socket.io server that handles job routing, worker matching, and real-time token streaming
Why?
Centralized AI providers censor their models, log your prompts, and can revoke access at any time. c0mpute is the alternative — private, uncensored, and owned by no one.
Anyone can use c0mpute or contribute compute and start earning.
