""America needs an open-source AI lab that can compete at the frontier without recreating the closed, centralized incentives of the biggest labs. OpenAgents exists to build that lab in public. We are paying people directly for the compute, software, and data that make the system better.""
""Pylon is OpenAgents' compute miner. It runs on a contributor's machine, connects to OpenAgents' Nexus coordination layer, and makes selected local compute available to the network. Contributors are paid in Bitcoin through the hosted Nexus treasury for eligible work and launch-period payouts.""
""The launch builds on open protocols already familiar to the Bitcoin and Nostr communities. Pylon acts as a Nostr client and NIP-90-style service provider, while Nexus coordinates provider presence, work assignment, telemetry, payout accounting, and public stats.""
OpenAgents has graduated from the BitcoinFi accelerator and raised $1.3 million in pre-seed funding. The funds will be used to expand Pylon, a distributed compute node allowing users to sell spare compute for Bitcoin, and to develop Psionic, a Rust-based machine learning framework. Pylon connects contributors' machines to OpenAgents' Nexus coordination layer, enabling Bitcoin payments for eligible work. The initiative aims to create an open-source AI lab that competes without centralized incentives, fostering a new generation of users in the Bitcoin and AI communities.
