Acurast and Nodle Launch Open Node: DeepSeek Powered Smartphone AI Clusters
Acurast is excited to announce its integration with the Open Node Project (ON), an open-source initiative developed in collaboration with Nodle.
This initiative empowers individuals to build decentralized AI clusters using repurposed smartphones, enhancing self-sovereign computing and decentralized infrastructure (DePIN).
Smartphone-Powered AI Compute
With Open Node, Acurast enables developers to transform old smartphones into AI compute nodes. By leveraging ARM processors, Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), and open-source tooling, anyone can deploy large language models (LLMs) like DeepSeek AI efficiently.
How to Deploy an Acurast AI Cluster:
- Gather smartphones with ARM processors and TEE.
- Connect to power, a USB hub, and a network.
- Install the Acurast app from GitHub, enable USB debugging, and register each device.
- Deploy AI models and monitor performance via the Acurast Dashboard.
