About co/core Expand
Co/core operates as a member-owned cooperative for AI inference, allowing developers and users to run open models on their spare Mac hardware. It offers a decentralized alternative to traditional cloud providers, focusing on transparency through verifiable public records for all jobs and settlements.
The platform uses a standard API, ensuring straightforward integration for existing codebases. This approach creates a unique ecosystem where individual Mac owners contribute to a shared compute resource, fostering a community-driven model for AI processing.
