A global community donating spare GPU cycles to power AI research, healthcare, and agriculture projects across the Global South. Choose the projects you believe in. See exactly where your compute goes.
AI is becoming foundational infrastructure — as critical as electricity. But access to the compute needed to build, train, and deploy AI systems remains concentrated among wealthy nations and well-capitalised organisations. The result is a systematic bias in who gets to build AI, and for whom.
OpenToken pools volunteer-donated GPU compute from people around the world and routes it to vetted research and humanitarian projects that need it most.
Gamers, university labs, and organisations worldwide donate idle GPU cycles through a lightweight agent. Sustainable infrastructure partners contribute upcycled servers. Everything flows into one intelligently managed compute pool.
Researchers, NGOs, and social enterprises in the Global South access compute completely free. Projects are vetted for legitimacy and listed on the platform for donors to discover and support. Sustained by affordable paid access for startups and enterprises alongside the volunteer network.
Pick the projects you care about — crop disease detection, maternal health, local language models. Your dashboard shows exactly where your cycles went: "Your 847 GPU-hours this month trained a crop disease detector for farmers in Uganda."
OpenToken combines donated compute with affordable paid access for startups and enterprises. Revenue from paid users funds platform operations; volunteer donations flow directly to free projects. The result is a model that doesn't depend on perpetual fundraising.
PhD students, university labs, and research institutions in the Global South. Access free compute for AI/ML work — your research budget shouldn't determine what questions you can ask.
Building AI products for underserved markets? OpenToken provides affordable compute access so your budget goes to building, not to cloud bills.
Organisations using AI for healthcare, agriculture, and education in developing contexts. Access compute completely free — funded by donors who believe in your mission.
Gamers, university labs, crypto miners — anyone with idle GPU capacity. Donate your spare cycles to meaningful projects and see exactly where your contribution went.
Projects like these need thousands of GPU-hours. On current platforms, the cost is prohibitive. On OpenToken, they're funded by a community of donors.
Training a model to detect crop disease from smartphone photos, helping smallholder farmers across sub-Saharan Africa identify infections before they spread.
Building a language model trained on East African healthcare terminology, enabling clinical decision support tools that actually work in the languages health workers use.
Developing a risk prediction system for maternal health clinics, trained on local data patterns to identify high-risk pregnancies earlier and reduce preventable mortality.
Designed to minimise the environmental cost of AI.
Security protocols ensure jobs are securely run for both donors and recipients.
Donors see exactly where their cycles go. Projects are vetted for legitimacy. Impact dashboards provide real accountability.
Built on open-source infrastructure. Powered by a global network of volunteer donors. No single point of control or dependency.
Affordable paid access for startups funds platform operations. Donated compute flows to free projects. No dependency on grants or perpetual fundraising.
We're building OpenToken now. Register your interest and we'll be in touch when the beta launches.
