Your computer, never idle.
Servers, desktops, laptops, even a spare mini-PC — when they’re not busy, they can run open models for the network and earn. You’re reimbursed for what it costs to run, plus a reward, and it steps aside the instant you need the machine.
How it works
Install and switch it on
The desktop app carries an opt-in contributor node — off by default. Turn it on when you want to earn; it registers with the network and warms up a few models matched to your hardware.
It works only when you don't
Hard caps on CPU, GPU, memory, disk and bandwidth. It pauses the moment you touch the machine, on battery, or when it runs hot — and resumes when idle. Your computer never feels slow.
Get paid for the work
Every job reimburses your real electricity and internet, plus a reward on top. Early contributors earn a premium. Track jobs, uptime and earnings in a live dashboard.
Real costs reimbursed, plus a reward
Stevai prices by the real cost of compute — electricity and internet — not tokens. When your machine answers a request you’re paid back exactly that, and a reward on top. The reward is highest for early contributors and in regions where supply is short, and it’s always bounded so the network stays the cheapest option for users. Payouts are handled for you; you just watch the dashboard.
Electricity + internet for every job you run.
A margin on top — a premium while you're an early contributor.
Caps, schedules, Wi-Fi-only, and a 2FA kill switch.
Safe for your machine, safe for users
Sealed workloads
Jobs run isolated from your files in a restricted sandbox — a workload can't touch your data or escape its workspace.
You never see prompts
Content is redacted before it ever reaches a contributed machine, and the network assumes every node is untrusted by design.
A kill switch you control
Stop and wipe the node instantly from the app or the tray — protected by two-factor, so only you can flip it.
Never a loss to Stevai
Rewards float under a hard ceiling: energy + internet + reward can never exceed the cheapest alternative, so a node is only ever the cheap option.
Put your idle hardware to work
Contributing is opt-in and off by default. Turn it on when it suits you, off whenever you like.
