About AI Power Grid

We’re building the infrastructure for decentralized AI.

The Mission

Make open AI infrastructure accessible without forcing every application to self-host GPUs or depend on one closed provider. The Grid connects applications to open models running on community hardware through one API and account.

Customer service credits, limited promotions, and any free allowances are separate policies. The Console and API report what is active for an account; the project does not promise an unrestricted permanent free tier.

The Grid is what happens when you combine:

• GPU owners who want to earn from their hardware
• Users who want AI without the strings attached
• Developers who want to build without platform risk
• Blockchain to coordinate the network — working toward trustless coordination as it decentralizes

What We’ve Built

The Network

The Grid - A distributed network of GPU workers running text, image, video, and audio models. Grid Core coordinates requests today; trusted-partner federation and stronger validator authority are roadmap work.

• aipg.art - AI art generation
• aipg.chat - LLM chat interface
• API - Programmatic access

The Infrastructure

Smart contracts on Base - Deployed model/workflow registries, job anchoring, worker and reward modules, plus the ended StakingVault program. The current worker payout rail is custodial and publishes verifiable ERC-20 transfers on Base; self-serve Merkle claims and full on-chain job verification remain roadmap work.

• ModelVault - Registry of AI models
• RecipeVault - Stored workflows for reproducible generation
• JobAnchor - Deployed anchoring module; production batch publisher is not live
• StakingVault - Deployed staking contract; rewards program ended and withdrawals remain open

The Token

AIPG on Base L2 - 150M fixed supply, no inflation. AIPG is paid through the current worker reward rail. The former passive staking program has ended; future worker bonding and validator economics are not finalized.

What We Believe

AI should be a utility, not a product. Like electricity, it should be infrastructure anyone can tap into.

Open source wins. Closed models create dependency. Open models create possibility.

Decentralization matters. Not as ideology, but as architecture. We’re building toward no single point of failure and no single point of control as the network decentralizes.

Builders should own their stack. If you build on a platform, you’re at the platform’s mercy. Build on The Grid, own your infrastructure.

The Team

AI Power Grid is an independent, bootstrapped project maintained in public with community contributors. We publish working software and label future protocol authority as roadmap work.

Get Involved

Use The Grid

• Generate at aipg.art or aipg.chat
• Build with the API

Run a Worker

• Contribute your GPU and earn AIPG from the current worker payout rail: LLM Worker or Media Worker

Staking (Ended Program)

• The staking rewards program has ended; existing stakers can withdraw anytime

Build

• Start with Use AIPG in 60 seconds or the Web3 starters
• Fork our repos and make them better
• Join Discord and tell us what you’re building
