The system uses a centralized server to merge client training updates into a shared model, with cross-client verification and proof of work to prevent malicious updates. Users can contribute data from a curated Hugging Face dataset and are rewarded via a leaderboard.", "body_md": "Hello I'm creating **CrowdGPT**, an open-source project which allows training of a LLM (Large Language Model) in a decentralized way, where each user contributes to making the AI better with whatever data they want.\n\nThe idea is simple: instead of one machine owning the entire training run, let many people contribute small training jobs and periodically merge those updates into a shared model.\n\nThe system is based on a centralized server (lightweight) that receives every client training, then \"merge them back\" to the main model. This system prevents threats or malicious updates by doing cross-client verifications (provides a proof of work).\n\nThe users that train the model are being put on a leaderboard, rewarding their contribution.\n\nData is taken from a curated dataset on Hugging Face (which means no personal data is ever used during training). However, users can push new text to this dataset (which is then moderated and validated).\n\nIf you're curious, here is the GitHub: [https://github.com/Vxtzq/CrowdGPT](https://github.com/Vxtzq/CrowdGPT)\n\nHere is the website: [https://www.crowdgpt.net](https://www.crowdgpt.net)\n\nThe best way to help me is to either:", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/crowdgpt-let-s-train-the-next-chatgpt-together-d", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/vxtzq/crowdgpt-an-open-source-framework-for-decentralized-collaborative-llm-training-using-consumer-gpus-429p", "published_at": "2026-08-22 21:42:16+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-22 22:13:22.990332+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["large-language-models", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-products", "ai-tools", "ai-agents"], "entities": ["CrowdGPT", "Hugging Face", "GitHub"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/crowdgpt-let-s-train-the-next-chatgpt-together-d", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/crowdgpt-let-s-train-the-next-chatgpt-together-d.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/crowdgpt-let-s-train-the-next-chatgpt-together-d.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/crowdgpt-let-s-train-the-next-chatgpt-together-d.jsonld"}}
