FAQ - AI Power Grid

🌐 Introduction to AIPG: AI Power Grid is a crowd-sourced distributed network for generative AI workloads, incentivized by our native layer 1 coin AIPG. The grid allows users and developers to harness the power of distributed computing for advanced AI workflows. AIPG's mission is to democratize open-source and local AI workloads, making advanced AI capabilities accessible to everyone.

AI Power Grid originated as a fork from the AI Horde project, with a strategic focus on enhancing and contributing back to their original framework. Our key contributions include the ongoing development of a custom workflow engine and the implementation of custom front ends powered by the grid. Contributions to open source are crucial, as they directly improve the efficiency and usability of both platforms for technical users, fostering a collaborative and innovative environment within the open-source AI community.

💡 Core Functionality and Features

• AI Image and Text Generation: Text and image generation jobs are fulfilled through the API via incentivized compute nodes.
• API Abstraction: Acting as a bridge between the user or developer and the grid's distributed network of AI workers.
• Distributed Workers: Powering the platform is a network of distributed workers that process text and image generation workloads.
• Workflow Customization: A key feature of the platform is its support for customized workflows.
• Accessibility for Users and Developers: By encapsulating the distributed workers and workflows within an intuitive API, the platform makes advanced AI capabilities widely accessible.

💰 Incentivization through AIPG Coin

AI Power Grid introduces an innovative incentivization model through the AIPG coin, moving away from traditional Proof of Work (PoW) systems. By contributing AI compute resources to the network, users can earn AIPG.

🌍 Democratizing AI and Open-Source Contributions

At AI Power Grid, our mission transcends the technical aspects of our platform, aiming to democratize AI and foster a culture of open-source contributions. This initiative is inspired by the growing movement towards making generative AI technologies accessible to everyone.
