Maybe stupid question but why not just put it in a torrent? | ||

It is very simple. Storage / bandwidth is not expensive. Residential bandwidth is. If you can convince people to install a bandwidth-related software on their residential homes, you can then charge other people $5 to $10 per 1GiB bandwidth (useful for botnet mostly, get around DDOS protections and other reCAPTCHA tasks). | ||

Torrents require users to download and install a torrent client! In addition, we would like to retain the possibility of giving live updates to the latest version of a sovereign fine-tuned file, torrents don't autoupdate. We want to keep improving what people get. Finally, we would like the possibility of setting up market dynamics in the future: if you aren't currently using all your ram, why not rent it out? This matches the p2p edge architecture we envision. In addition, our work on WebGPU would allow you to rent out your gpu to a background tab whenever you're not using it. Why have all that silicon sit idle when you could rent it out? You could also donate it to help fine tune our own sovereign model. All of this will let us bootstrap to the point where we could be trusted with a download. We have a rather paranoid approach to security. | ||
