CrowdGPT - Let's train the next ChatGPT together :D A developer has launched CrowdGPT, an open-source project that enables decentralized training of large language models. 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. 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. The 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. The 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 . The users that train the model are being put on a leaderboard, rewarding their contribution. Data 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 .
