Participants

There are three main roles in the OSMI Network: consumers, providers, and administrators.

Consumers

Any time a participant is using OSMI for either AI or general GPU resources, they are consuming. There is no friction to using OSMI. For most, it will just be accessing a website.

Providers

Operators power the OSMI network. For example, OSMI LLM Nodes will work as inference servers running AI tasks for OSMI Chat. Other OSMI nodes will be needed to host and handle peer-to-peer downloading of large LLMs. Providers are rewarded with $OSMI for work done.

Administrators

Nodes handling coordination and general system tasks will be considered administrators. For example, coordinator nodes handle the routing of AI inferencing traffic among LLM Nodes.
