Comput3 Tutorials
In this post I'm compiling a growing list of tutorials covering various applications that you can fuel with your comput3 account. Some of these will be fairly simple that everyone can follow while others target advanced users as they require additional server setups. First of all lets set the stage and explain why you wanna run open source apps on your machines.
What is Comput3 ?
Comput3.ai allow users to own a stake in gpu infrastructure via $com token which can be staked to access llm inference and aswell as gpu hours to spin up ComfyUI, Ollama and other services to run genAI workload and fuel more complex pipelines with compute.
Compared to Anthropic, OpenAI they don't store your data. Their business model isn't built around collecting customer data which cloud providers do to train models etc which is very important as you don't want your software pipelines to leak data. With different tiers of monthly budget, companies and individuals can fuel their apps and workflows with AI to enrich the user experience for themselves and their users across various facets.
Looking at the staking tiers you'll realize that 1mn $com effective enables you to run heavy genAI workload 24/7 as an entire month as around 720 hours. At the same time 10k $com already grant unlimited tool enabled Llama3:70b inference, enabling most of these tutorial.
Simple: AI tools for your personal computer
Lets start with some basic llm apps that you can run on your computer. You can already use these with the base tier as those services don't require gpu hours. You'll see that the barrier of entry is extremely low which makes comput3 so interesting.
