Introduction

The Infera node serves as an efficient off-chain client, dedicated to handling and completing compute tasks within the Infera network.

​

What is an Infera Node?

An Infera Node is a software application that allows users to contribute their GPU’s compute power to perform AI inference tasks. Whether you’re a hobbyist with a single GPU or a professional with a network of devices, running an Infera Node enables you to participate in the decentralized AI ecosystem, earning rewards for your contributions.

​

How It Works?

• Nodes listen for inference requests broadcasted from the load balancer.
• When a job is received, the input is passed to the node’s inference engine.
• Post-inference, the results are verified with similar outputs from reference nodes.
• Results are then routed back to the load balancer alongside the verification results.

​

Why Run an Infera Node?

• Earn Rewards: Contribute your GPU power to the network and receive points or tokens for each successful AI inference job your node processes.
• Decentralize AI: Help democratize AI by making high-performance compute power accessible to everyone, reducing the reliance on centralized cloud services.
• Efficient Usage: Maximize the use of your idle or underutilized GPU resources by putting them to work on meaningful AI tasks.
• Scalable Network: As more nodes join, the network becomes more powerful and resilient, offering even faster and more efficient AI inference.
