One mind,grown fromevery machine.
ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini live in giant data centers owned by a few companies. ARMILLARIA lives on our computers. Every connected PC becomes a cell of one organism, and together we run free AI that nobody owns.
Listening to the organism…Ask a question — free, 10 nutrients a day, no account. Answers come from cells online right now.
Become a cell on a desktop: your GPU answers others and you earn nutrients for your own questions.
Click Withdraw or close the tab — your PC stops instantly. Delete the model from your PC in one click.
ChatGPT rents you a brain. We grow our own.
Here is the whole idea in thirty seconds, no jargon.
Big Tech data centers
The AI everyone uses runs on huge server farms owned by a handful of companies. You send your question to their machines, they answer, and you pay with a subscription, a usage limit or your data.
The model, the servers and the rules all belong to them.
A network of normal PCs
Instead of one giant server, thousands of ordinary computers each run a small open-source AI model right in their browser. Your question is sent to one of them, it answers, and the answer comes back to you live.
Lend your PC's power for a while, and you earn the right to use everyone else's. Nobody owns the network. Nobody pays.
| ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini | ARMILLARIA | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Company-owned data centers | Members' own computers, in the browser |
| Who owns it | One company each | Nobody — the network is the community |
| What you pay | Subscriptions, usage caps, or paid API calls | $0 — lend compute, earn nutrients, use the AI |
| The model | Closed, secret weights | Open-source models anyone can inspect |
| Raw power | Frontier models — far stronger at hard reasoning and long tasks | Smaller models — solid for everyday tasks: explaining, summarizing, translating, brainstorming |
| Gets better when | The company decides to ship an update | More people join — more cells, more capacity, bigger models later |
| Tone | Corporate, cautious, often refuses or lectures | Talks to you like an adult — no taboos, no lectures. Only the law sets the limits. |
| Privacy | Handled by the company's policy | Cells see the question text, never who asked — so never send anything sensitive |
ARMILLARIA is not trying to beat ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini at raw intelligence today — they run on billions of dollars of hardware. It's a different bet: an AI that belongs to the people who power it, free to use, open to inspect, and getting stronger every time someone joins. Phase III is where cells fuse to run much larger models together.
10 free questions every day, more if you lend your GPU. No account, no card, no subscription.
Your graphics card sits unused most of the day. Put it to work and earn nutrients and weekly $ARMIL rewards.
Ask the questions corporate AIs dodge. No lectures, no company deciding what you may talk about — only the law sets the limits. And nobody can switch it off.

Lend your GPU. Earn nutrients.
Your browser loads an open-source AI model straight onto your graphics card and processes thoughts for the rest of the network. Every useful answer earns you nutrients, which you spend to use the organism yourself.
The first 100 cells to complete a verified thought become Founders — forever. Double nutrients for life and a permanent Founder mark next to your cell on the leaderboard. Once the slots are gone, they're gone.
Scan the host
We check your browser supports WebGPU and read your graphics card.
Grow the model
The right model for your hardware downloads once, then stays cached.
Join the network
Your cell is calibrated, connected, and starts receiving thoughts.
Stop anytime: Withdraw or close the tab and your GPU stops immediately — nothing keeps running in the background. "Delete model from this PC" frees the 1–2 GB used by the model.
The immune system quietly tests every cell. Cheaters lose their reputation and stop receiving thoughts. Your cell sees the text of the questions it handles, never who asked them.
Ask anything. A cell somewhere answers.
Your question travels down the gradient to the most reliable, fastest cell alive at that moment — and the answer streams back to you live.
Open-source, mid-sized models — great for explaining, summarizing, translating and brainstorming.
Four systems. Already alive.
Everything below is running right now, in the open, on every visit to this page.
Hyphae
The generating cells. Every connected browser runs an open-source model on its GPU and answers the network's thoughts.
LIVENutrient gradient
Every path that delivers fast and well grows stronger; the rest wither. Routing optimizes itself, continuously.
LIVEImmune system
Tests with known answers are injected at random. A cell that fails watches its reputation collapse.
LIVENutrients
Give compute, receive nutrients. Internal points that can't be bought — only grown — and spent to use the AI.
LIVEThe organism is still growing.
Each stage unlocks as the network thickens. More cells, more capability.
Germination
Browser cells, gradient routing, immune testing, nutrients. The organism wakes up.
Mycelial mat
Rhizomorph relays cut latency between regions. Sclerotia hold a shared memory split across cells.
Anastomosis
Cells fuse to run, together, models too large for any single machine.
Fruiting
Answers rated by the community become an open dataset. The organism molts and releases its own model: Armillaria-1.
