LOOM.
WAITLIST OPEN — PROTOCOL SPEC IN DRAFT
Distributed training on consumer hardware

Your GPU sleeps
20 hours a day.
Put it on the loom.

Frontier AI is trained in a handful of buildings owned by a handful of companies. Meanwhile the largest pool of idle compute on earth sits under desks and in living rooms. LOOM is a protocol for weaving those threads into one fabric — volunteer and paid contribution, open research priorities, governance by the people who supply the cycles.

Reserve your node

Phase 0 is a compute census: tell us what hardware you'd contribute so the protocol is designed around real machines, not idealized ones.

Your email stays private — only anonymous hardware stats are shared.

01 — Incentives

Goodwill first, credits second

Folding@home proved goodwill can mobilize exaflops. LOOM starts there, then layers non-speculative compute credits redeemable for inference on the models you helped train. You weave, you wear.

02 — Priorities

Research chosen in the open

Training runs are proposed publicly and scheduled by contributor vote weighted by delivered — not pledged — compute. The agenda belongs to the people supplying the cycles.

03 — Governance

Protected by architecture

No trusted center. Redundant computation and proof-of-work-done verify results from anonymous nodes; governance weight decays without contribution, so power can't pool and sit.
