Product introduction
AI Horde is a community-driven, non-profit open-source generative AI network designed to provide free image and text generation services to the public by pooling idle computer power from volunteers. Operated by the non-profit organization Haidra, its funding primarily comes from user donations and grants from foundations such as NLnet / NGI0 Core, with a mission to build decentralized AI infrastructure.
In this ecosystem, developers can contribute GPU resources to become workers, while ordinary users can utilize this computing power without paying fees. Through this crowdsourcing model, AI Horde breaks down the paywalls of commercial AI services, allowing anyone to participate in generative AI creation while maintaining system openness and transparency.
