Projections only. Estimates depend on utilization, install approval, local regulations, and OpenPC network demand. Not a guarantee of income.

AI outgrew the data center. OpenPC is building the distributed grid that expands beyond it, turning garages, basements, sheds, farms, and small businesses into managed AI nodes.

Each node earns from real AI demand, warms the home or business it runs in, and shares the upside with the people who power it.

How it works

Hosting an OpenPC node is a four-step process: you provide the space, we finance and install the hardware at no cost, the node runs managed AI compute, and you earn a share of the revenue.

01

You provide the space and power

A garage, basement, or outbuilding with a dedicated breaker, steady airflow, and a solid connection.

02

We supply the hardware

OpenPC finances and supplies a fully managed AI system. No upfront cost to you.

03

We run it and bring the work

OpenPC manages it, sells the compute, and handles security, monitoring, and billing.

04

You earn a share of the revenue

You share the revenue across the hardware's life, and its waste heat can warm your space.

Sustainable by design

Every node produces heat as it runs AI compute. That heat can warm the home or business it sits in rather than going to waste.

the hyperscale buildout.

Common questions.

No. The application is non-binding. It's an expression of interest, not a contract, there's no fee, no obligation, and no commitment to host. We use it to assess whether your site is a fit and to tell you what's possible. Nothing is installed, charged, or signed until you've reviewed the details and signed a host agreement. You can change your mind at any point before that.

Nothing to pay while you host. OpenPC pays for the hardware and the professional installation in full. That cost is paid back out of the compute the node earns, never billed to you. There is no loan, no deposit, and no payment to make as long as you're hosting.

OpenPC covers it. The node draws power from your supply, so OpenPC meters exactly how much electricity it uses. That metered amount is reimbursed from what the node earns on the network, so the power an active node uses comes back to you rather than staying on your bill. How usage is metered and reimbursed is set out in your host agreement before anything is installed.

OpenPC sells the compute your node produces and pays you a share of the revenue. That share is smaller while the hardware is being paid back, then steps up once the unit is paid off. The estimator above projects both stages for your inputs, and payouts run on a regular schedule with no action needed from you.

You are not locked in. If you decide to stop hosting, you have two options. You can have the node removed, where OpenPC takes back the full unit and a one-time removal fee covers the uninstall. Or you can keep the unit by settling its remaining hardware balance, after which it is yours outright.

It's a fair thing to ask. The node is OpenPC's equipment, and its safety is OpenPC's responsibility, not yours. Before anything is installed, OpenPC assesses your site, and a node is only placed where it can run safely. OpenPC then manages and monitors it for as long as it runs. The electrical requirements, where the unit sits, and anything your space needs are confirmed during that assessment and explained to you, and nothing is installed until you have reviewed the details and signed a host agreement.
