Native worker overview

Native workers run Qwen3.5 27B (abliterated/uncensored) on your machine via ollama. They serve Max tier requests and earn 3-5x more than browser workers.

Why go native?

  • Higher earnings — Max tier jobs pay significantly more than Pro
  • Better model — 27B parameter model produces higher quality responses
  • Real GPU utilization — uses CUDA, Metal, or Vulkan for full hardware acceleration
  • Runs headless — no browser tab needed, runs as a background process or service

Requirements

  • Node.js 18+ (22+ recommended)
  • ollama installed (the worker pulls and runs the model through it)
  • GPU with 20GB+ VRAM recommended (or 32GB+ unified memory on Apple Silicon):
    • NVIDIA: RTX 3090, RTX 4090, etc.
    • Apple Silicon: M1 Max/Ultra, M2/M3/M4 Max (32GB+ RAM)
    • AMD: RX 7900 XTX (via Vulkan)
  • ~17GB disk space for the model (downloaded on first run)
  • Stable internet connection
