A free, open-source, distributed AI network that runs on any device — no expensive GPUs required.
Project Sovereign turns the idle CPU on your phone, laptop, or PC into part of a global AI network. Anyone on earth can participate. No one controls it. No one can shut it off.
The goal is simple: democratize AI and accelerate medical research — particularly cancer — by making compute accessible to everyone, not just companies that can afford NVIDIA hardware.
- No GPU required — runs on any CPU including smartphones
- No central server — pure peer-to-peer, no off switch
- Medical breakthroughs automatically published as Prior Art — cannot be patented
- Free forever — MIT License
- BitNet 1.58b ternary weights convert GPU math into simple CPU addition
- libp2p gossipsub networking connects nodes globally in under 2 seconds
- Federated learning on mobile edge devices — your phone trains AI while charging
- Zero-knowledge proofs protect sensitive medical data privacy
- Automatic Prior Art broadcast to Arweave makes discoveries permanently free
Specification complete. Implementation in progress. All help is welcomed. Not an active build yet looking for Rust contributors.
MIT — free for the world, forever.
