Local by design
A network designed around Australian homes and Australian execution. Deployment location and data handling are agreed as part of access.
An Australian approach to AI compute: connect useful workloads with distributed GPU capacity and locally available solar and battery energy.

The project prototype demonstrates streaming text and image-enabled inference through a familiar API interface. Talk to the team about models, access and service requirements.
A network designed around Australian homes and Australian execution. Deployment location and data handling are agreed as part of access.
Bring job activity, compute usage and energy information into the same conversation, with metering built into the platform direction.
Where your workload permits, schedule around available solar and battery energy instead of treating every hour as the same.
Useful capacity starts with a realistic match. These considerations help scope a compute engagement; they are not a list of currently available service guarantees.
| Workload | What matters | Scheduling fit |
|---|---|---|
| Interactive inference | Model memory, time to first token, response continuity | Requires an agreed availability and latency profile |
| Batch inference | Throughput, deadline, checkpointing and input size | A candidate for deferrable energy-aware execution |
| Model evaluation | Reproducibility, fixed model versions and comparable hardware | Often schedulable within a defined completion window |
| Fine-tuning | GPU memory, framework support and sustained runtime | Assessed against the model and available node hardware |
| Tightly coupled multi-GPU training | Interconnect, synchronisation, fault tolerance and topology | Requires a separate feasibility study; home nodes are not assumed to form one tightly coupled cluster |
A proposed service workflow shaped around the job you actually need to run.
Share the model, inputs, GPU memory needs, deadline and data-handling requirements.
Confirm available hardware, execution location, dependencies and the intended service conditions.
Place eligible work on suitable capacity and follow its state and measured resource use.
Retrieve outputs, review usage and use the results to scope the next workload.
Distributed infrastructure makes the operating boundaries especially important.
Agree what is uploaded, where it is processed, how long it is retained and how outputs are retrieved.
Clarify whether the job needs a continuous service or can pause, resume or wait for an energy window.
Distinguish the prototype’s current controls from research into attestation and stronger isolation.
Confirm how compute use is measured and the applicable commercial terms before running a real job.
