co/core

co/core is a cooperative platform designed to decentralize compute for advanced models. It enables individuals to pool their existing Apple Silicon Macs, forming a distributed network that runs open models. This approach allows users to leverage powerful computational resources for their tasks without relying on large, centralized cloud providers. The platform supports existing model codebases, making it simple for developers and researchers to integrate their projects. By contributing their Mac's compute, members help sustain a shared infrastructure that is collectively owned and governed. This fosters a community-driven ecosystem for model execution, offering a cost-effective and collaborative alternative to traditional computing services. Key features include: support for open models, seamless integration with existing model code, community-owned infrastructure, and a focus on utilizing readily available hardware resources. It's ideal for developers, researchers, and organizations seeking an ethical and economical way to perform complex computations, promote open-source collaboration, and reduce dependence on commercial cloud infrastructure.
