Started with 100 users. Now Gradient runs on 1M+ nodes across 190 countries. @yuangao is building the open compute layer AI needs — using the devices we already have. This is DePIN on Solana.

Built on the Lattica Protocol, this MVP of a global CDN runs on 10,000 community browser nodes across the world. No servers. No gatekeepers. Just pure, decentralized performance/fun. Try it live:

Intelligence has been locked in walled gardens. Today, we’re opening the gates. Parallax now runs in Hybrid mode, with Macs and GPUs serving large models together in a truly distributed framework.

“Just focusing on doing it, gradient descend yourself to the optimized solution.” That line from @drfeifei really says it all. (Also: subtle plug — that’s exactly why we named it @Gradient_HQ .)

Reinforcement Learning is the future tense of intelligence. Echo is how it scales. Echo is Gradient’s distributed RL framework, running on everyday consumer devices. From its early experiments, Echo powered a 30B Sokoban model that outperformed DeepSeek-R1 and GPT-OSS-120B.

I’m incredibly excited to share that @Gradient_HQ is stepping out of stealth today with the launch of our first product, #GradientSentry. It’s been a labor of love, with the team putting in months of hard work, and we’re thrilled to finally show it to you all.

Finally, an open model from OpenAI. gpt-oss-120b is now live on Parallax in Hybrid Mode. Try it with reasoning, served peer-to-peer across a mesh of everyday hardware.
