[00:00] Christopher David: Folks, I'm excited to announce that this month we are rebooting our swarm compute network previously called GP Utopia, now called Open Agents Compute.

[00:09] Christopher David: Why should you care?

[00:10] Christopher David: Because you can sell your spare compute for Bitcoin as simple as running a simple desktop app, adding your computer to our global compute marketplace and getting paid Bitcoin.

[00:24] Christopher David: This is something we've already launched.

[00:25] Christopher David: It worked. We paid out I don't know how many tens or hundreds of compute providers.

[00:31] Christopher David: You could provide your compute first through a web application,

[00:35] Christopher David: then through worker bee software that supported inference,

[00:39] Christopher David: fine tuning, embedding, image generation, all through an open AI compatible endpoint.

[00:45] Christopher David: We phased this out.

[00:47] Christopher David: Part of this was we had a bunch of sellers,

[00:50] Christopher David: not enough buyers. Now this was 18 months ago.

[00:54] Christopher David: And we thought that in the future, the ideal buyer that's going to really help launch this as a two-sided marketplace are going to be agents. Once agents are good and easy enough to use,

[01:06] Christopher David: that should solve that demand issue.

[01:08] Christopher David: Okay, 18 months later,

[01:10] Christopher David: a pivot to OpenAgents later,

[01:13] Christopher David: 170 videos of building a whole bunch of agents infrastructure later.

[01:21] Christopher David: We're ready to bring this back in.

[01:24] Christopher David: So much has changed in the last 18 months.

[01:26] Christopher David: We've got great ways of running local models so that we don't need to be building, what is this?

[01:33] Christopher David: We don't need to be building this infrastructure anymore.

[01:36] Christopher David: We can just pay people for running things like Olama,

[01:39] Christopher David: focusing on what we're good at.

[01:42] Christopher David: Okay,

[01:42] Christopher David: so the thing that we're going to be uniquely providing to this.

[01:48] Christopher David: is the like super cool interface you're gonna install an app it's gonna be a way for you to see the earnings and like visualize the network activity paired with a cool game style sci-fi HUD for actually using these agents it's gonna feel a little bit like a video game but it's gonna have agent payments tied directly into it okay so we are gonna be kind of building and beta testing this

[02:16] Christopher David: Over the next week or so in our discord our objective is to take all this kind of stuff that we've built so far and put it into one open source software package.

[02:27] Christopher David: We're going to continue doing the whole build in public thing.

[02:31] Christopher David: We're going to be beta testing things still in our discord that's been going great.

[02:37] Christopher David: And we want to get the first payments out to sellers of Compute a week from today at the latest.

[02:44] Christopher David: If you want to get a start on that, we're going to be using Ollama as our local model provider.

[02:50] Christopher David: So you'll need Ollama installed locally.

[02:53] Christopher David: Go install Ollama and then obviously you'll have through OpenAgents the wallet,

[03:00] Christopher David: which works just fine as you can see in our previous video.

[03:04] Christopher David: Stay tuned.
