tl dr; I built a platform where people can rent GPU time, but more importantly, crowdsource model development. What it does: Rent GPUs : Rent computing power from other users Crowdfund projects : Fund your LLM training through community contributions Share resources : Users can rent out their own GPUs to others The idea: Instead of everyone building their own infrastructure, we pool our resources. You could fund someone else’s research project (or vice versa) while getting access to the computing power you need. I am looking for QA , or some volonteers to test it. Also I was thinking about cost of the training itself, so I’ve build some kind webform which allow me to fastly understand how much is gonna cost to, let’s say LLM with 70b if I want to use H100 and let’s say I have a cluster of 1024 H100 – in this setup it would take 37 days but it’s gonna cost approx 1 660 560$ which is… a lot So it made me thinking what if we gonna create some crowdfunding platform for raising such funds? I think I found some kind of solution to this, I made it based on Nanotron framework and ethereum blockchain. Also need some testers to make sure everything works fine. Also would like to hear your thoughts about it submitted by /u/0xBekket
