Turn the world's idle compute into AI inference

Kielo is a decentralized AI inference network. Compute providers contribute idle CPU/GPU capacity and earn money. Developers access multiple open-source LLMs through one unified API at lower cost than traditional closed providers.

Providers install the desktop app and join the network with benchmarked hardware. Developers send API requests. Kielo intelligently routes each request to an available provider, returns the response, and handles billing and payouts on both sides.

No. Kielo routes LLM inference requests — the same workloads developers send to APIs like OpenAI. Providers earn by running AI inference jobs, not by mining cryptocurrency.

Minimum and recommended CPU/GPU specs are being confirmed with engineering. The desktop app auto-detects your hardware and runs a benchmark to determine eligibility and earning rates. Details published before provider onboarding opens.

Earnings depend on your hardware benchmark score, availability, and network demand. The payout formula — percentage of inference revenue with benchmark multipliers — is published before launch. We will not publish illustrative earnings estimates without real data.

Providers earn a revenue share on completed jobs minus a disclosed platform fee. Payout schedule, minimum thresholds, and withdrawal process are defined in the provider agreement — published before you register hardware.

Inference workloads are comparable to other compute tasks. The app includes thermal safeguards and you control availability windows. Electricity costs are yours — the published payout formula lets you evaluate whether participation makes sense for your setup.

Yes. You decide when your hardware is available for jobs. Pause or stop at any time from the desktop app — your machine only participates when you allow it.

Inference jobs run in sandboxed environments. Your personal files and unrelated processes are not exposed to network workloads. Local data stays on your machine.

We are finalizing the launch catalog of open-weight models (Llama, Mistral, Qwen, and others). The confirmed list will be published before your API batch opens.

One OpenAI-compatible endpoint gives you access to multiple open-source models. Generate an API key, choose a model, and send requests with your preferred SDK or HTTP client.

In addition to pay-as-you-go per-token pricing, Kielo offers unlimited usage plans at hourly, weekly, and other subscription tiers. Exact tiers and fair-use policies are published before launch.

Kielo targets up to 60% lower cost vs. comparable closed APIs on open-source models. The comparison methodology — which models, providers, and usage tiers — is published before launch. We do not present illustrative savings as final fact.

Any language that can make HTTP requests works. Kielo exposes an OpenAI-compatible API — use the OpenAI SDK with a different base URL.

Kielo monitors provider health continuously. If a node fails, the request is rerouted to another available provider where possible. Failover behavior is documented in the API reference before launch.

Enterprise SLA and self-hosted/on-prem deployments are on the roadmap for 2027. They are not committed for initial launch. Join the waitlist and note your requirements — we prioritize roadmap based on demand.
