Darkbloom – Private inference on idle Macs
Eigen Labs Research Private inference on idle Macs We present Darkbloom, a decentralized inference network. AI compute today flows through three layers of markup — GPU manufacturers to hyperscalers to API providers to end users. Meanwhile, over 100 million Apple Silicon machines sit idle for most of each day. We built a network that connects them directly to demand. Operators cannot observe inference data. The API is OpenAI-compatible. Our measurements show up to 70% lower costs compared to centralized alternatives. Operators retain 95% of revenue.
