Accessing powerful artificial intelligence is expensive: ChatGPT Plus at $20/month, Claude Pro at $20/month, OpenAI API at $0.01-0.06 per request. These services are proprietary: your data belongs to them, their models are closed, and their terms change whenever they want. Open source models exist (Llama 3, Mistral, Qwen, Gemma) — free, auditable, modifiable — but they require powerful GPUs that 99% of people don't have. A model capable of reasoning (70B parameters) requires 40 GB of VRAM — that's 2 high-end graphics cards ($3,000). Yet in every neighborhood, there are dozens of GPUs sitting idle: gamers who don't play 24/7, designers' workstations, small business servers, repurposed mining rigs. If 6 people share their GPUs on a local network, they can collectively run a model that no one can afford alone. It's the same principle as carpooling: the resource exists, it's just poorly distributed.

Solution proposee

Create a community network of shared GPUs to run open source AI models. Each member contributes their GPU when they're not using it (nighttime, work hours) and in return, gets free access to powerful AI. The model is partitioned across network nodes (like Petals or Exo Labs): each GPU computes a few layers of the model, and together they form a "supercomputer" capable of running Llama 3 70B, Mixtral, or any open source model. The network is regional (same city, same fiber Internet provider) to minimize latency. ChatGPT-style web interface but 100% free and local. Your data NEVER leaves the network — no American servers, no tracking, no censorship. The economic model: GPU contribution = free access. Non-contributor = symbolic community rate ($0.01/request). Zero profit. Community governance: contributors vote on which models to host, what usage rules to apply, and how to allocate resources.

Methode de calcul du seuil

Mobilize GPU owners (gamers, designers, researchers, businesses), ML/infra developers, legal experts (GDPR, privacy regulations), translators (multilingual models), and testers (students, researchers, nonprofits). The network starts with a total VRAM threshold (e.g., 200 GB of shared VRAM) before activation — guaranteeing that at least one 70B model can run continuously. The project is complementary to Nextcloud (model hosting), LoRa (P2P discovery), and ecovillage setups (community GPU clusters).

Actions (16)

Set up a community GPU cluster (shared servers)

Assemble a cluster of 4-8 refurbished GPU servers (former mining rigs, end-of-life corporate workstations) hosted in a community space (fablab, ecovillage). Network backbone: guarantees minimum availability even when home GPUs are idle. Powered by the ecovillage's solar panels.

Develop the lightweight client for GPU-less devices (CPU, phone)

Allow devices without a GPU (old PCs, phones) to use the network as a client. "Delegation" mode: the request is sent, the network computes it, the response comes back. "Hybrid" mode: small requests (7B models) run locally on CPU, large ones (70B) are delegated to the network. CLI client + mobile app.

Create the "Local ChatGPT" web interface (streaming, tools, agents)

ChatGPT-style web interface but 100% local: token streaming, local history, model selection (Llama, Mistral, Qwen, Gemma), tools (web search, code interpreter, image generation). Runs in browser, no installation needed. Dark mode, i18n, mobile responsive. No data sent outside the network.

Develop the scheduling and fair allocation system

Orchestrator that decides which node computes which request: priorities (contributor > non-contributor), fairness (no one monopolizes), quality of service (target latency <2s for first token). Credit system: 1 hour of contributed GPU = X free requests. Public dashboard: total VRAM, available models, real-time queue.

Document governance and usage rules (community charter)

Open source charter: principles (transparency, neutrality, accessibility), usage rules (no malicious deepfakes, no spam, respect for privacy), moderation process (report → vote → decision), transparency of decisions. Adapted to privacy regulations (GDPR, AI Act, and equivalent local laws).

Design the community governance system (voting, moderation)

Governance mechanism: GPU contributors vote on (a) which models to host, (b) what usage rules to apply (no deepfakes, no harassment), (c) how to allocate compute surplus (university research? NGOs?). Weighted voting by contribution (more VRAM = more votes, with a cap to prevent oligopoly).

Develop the P2P GPU sharing protocol (based on Petals/Exo)

Adapt the Petals protocol (BitTorrent-like for LLM inference) for regional community use. Model partitioning across nodes, request routing, fault tolerance (a node leaves → others compensate). Optimized for latency <5ms (LAN or residential fiber). Open source AGPL code. Compatible with vLLM, Ollama, llama.cpp as backend.
