LAPSUS
Community-powered local AI p2p network

Let's run AI.
On our own machines.
Not Big Tech's cloud.

Let's build our own decentralized AI p2p network.

Share your idle GPU and offer tokens to the network; use the community's when you need more — prompts go straight, peer to peer. Hard rate limits are built in, so you can offer a text model and tap someone else's image model. Every share earns credits; using the network spends them. Offer some, get some.

See it in action

Share your AI

Already running Ollama or LM Studio? Open the app and your idle GPU joins the commons. You set what to share; close the app and you're instantly out.

Earn credits for every request you serve.

Use it — chat

Pick a community model, send a prompt, and get the answer back from someone else's machine over a direct encrypted channel. Multi-turn chat, Markdown, attach a file — right in the app or the terminal. Spend the credits you earned by sharing.

Remember: offer some then get some.

Use it — as an API

Run lps gateway and you get a local, OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Point any OpenAI SDK or tool at it — just change the base_url — and it runs on the community network instead of Big Tech's cloud. The prompt still travels peer to peer.

LangChain, LlamaIndex, Aider, Open WebUI, your own scripts — anything that speaks OpenAI.

The whole network, behind one API.

$ lps gateway & # → http://localhost:4040/v1 $ curl .../v1/chat/completions -d @req.json { "object": "chat.completion", "model": "google/gemma-4-e2b", "choices": [{ "message": { "role": "assistant", "content": "Peer-to-peer is a decentralized network where machines talk directly, no central server." }, "finish_reason": "stop" }], "usage": { "prompt_tokens": 29, "completion_tokens": 287, "total_tokens": 316 } }
But why?

Because the compute should be ours.

A cooperative for compute. Everyone chips in resources; the ones doing the work get paid out — owned by the people who run it.
