co/core is a cooperative for AI inference — people pooling the Macs they already own to run open models for each other, instead of renting from the big clouds. An experiment in AI infrastructure we build, share, and own together. Bring your existing OpenAI-compatible code, or share a Mac and help run it.
Hey Andrew, can you share a little bit more about the security model and whether or not there's any kind of compensation involved?
@ranmagencom Sure. Security model is operator-blind inference on Apple Silicon — in-process, Hardened Runtime, SIP immutability, Secure Enclave attestation (the established approach Darkbloom showed works). What's new on our side is the decentralized receipt layer on ATProto: provider-signed records that verify offline, no coordinator in the middle. On compensation — in our design we're running a co-op - its a direct token-for-token exchange of value with disbursements from the broker (i.e. if you generate text for me, you get credits you can use in-network, and then we get monthly disbursements from the network proportional to our use)
