Ember is an open inference network: independent hardware runs models, sampled audits check the work, and Spark accounts for settled use. Contribute when idle; call the whole network when you need it.
Pick a role, copy the short instructions, paste them to your AI agent. The instructions point your agent to llms.txt for the full steps and to network.json for live parameters.
Inference supply today is concentrated and opaque. Ember makes it open and checkable.
A compute bank. Contribute idle hardware and receive Spark in return for settled work. The balance sits at your own address, ready to spend on inference anywhere on the network. You keep your hardware and your keys: the bank is a pattern, not a custodian — no pooled asset, no interest, no redemption promise.
Open to contribute and to call. Anyone can run a node or call inference — no approval, no vendor lock-in. Models and runtimes are not restricted; each one is pinned on-chain as a Profile by its weights, tokenizer and runtime hashes.
Checked before settlement. Executors sign evidence for their work; auditors replay a sample and compare. Fees settle on-chain only after that check, split 80% executor / 15% auditor / 5% consumer rebate. Sampling cannot detect every deviation — that limit is stated, not hidden.
Three short paths. Detail lives one layer down, not on this page.
The chat is a basic inference trial with an on-chain trace for every answer. It is a showcase, not an agent.
Step-by-step setup for executor and auditor nodes is in llms.txt (Paths 2 and 3) and in the Quickstart.
Use the API, the MCP tools, or your own gateway — endpoints and formats are in llms.txt and openapi.yaml.
