The free app, available on iPhone and Android, offers leiolai-1 with an 11-million-token context window and an OpenAI-compatible API priced at $0.01 per million input tokens and $0.02 per million output tokens.", "body_md": "Leiolai runs inference across devices people already own instead of data centers. It saves water with inference and pays users for the computation their devices provide.\n\nThe app is free to use on iPhone and Android, with no card required. Users can contribute compute, earn money, and level up their chip system to unlock more computation at no additional cost.\n\nleiolai-1 has an 11-million-token context window. Developers can use it through an OpenAI-compatible API starting at $0.01 per million input tokens and $0.02 per million output tokens. It supports continuous generation with no output limit.\n\nTry it here: [https://leiolai.com/download/](https://leiolai.com/download/)\n\nI'm happy to answer questions about the product and technology here!\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485913](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485913)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-leiolai-ai-that-pays-users-for-the-compute-their-devices-provide", "canonical_source": "https://leiolai.com/", "published_at": "2026-08-29 00:58:17+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-29 01:18:18.594238+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-infrastructure", "ai-products", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Leiolai", "leiolai-1", "OpenAI"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-leiolai-ai-that-pays-users-for-the-compute-their-devices-provide", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-leiolai-ai-that-pays-users-for-the-compute-their-devices-provide.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-leiolai-ai-that-pays-users-for-the-compute-their-devices-provide.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-leiolai-ai-that-pays-users-for-the-compute-their-devices-provide.jsonld"}}
