Ask HN: Could People Sell AI Tokens From Idle GPUs?

Summary

A Hacker News post proposes letting individuals turn their idle GPUs into APIs and join a network where other people could use the available computing capacity for AI tokens. The author compares the idea with OpenRouter and asks whether people would join. They are also considering a $10-per-month plan. In the discussion, one commenter suggests leasing a GPU from NVIDIA and paying for it with computing services until the device is owned, while noting that a high-end 7090 could cost more than $10,000. Another commenter compares the concept with distributed-computing projects such as Folding@home and SETI@home. The post remains an idea seeking feedback; it does not report a launched service or confirmed pricing.
