<p>This is definitely an interesting thought experiment, however in practice our system is closer to AWS than a botnet, as the GPUs are not distributed. This technology does lend itself to some interesting applications with creating very flexible clusters within data centers that we are exploring.</p>

<p>We don't support self-hosting yet but are considering adding it in the future. We're a small team working as hard as we can :)<p>Curious where you see this in the CLI, may be an oversight on our part. If you can join the Discord and point us to this bug we would really appreciate it!</p>

<p>We don't support self hosting yet but the same technology should work well here. Many of the same benefits apply in a self-hosted setting, namely efficient workload scheduling, GPU-sharing, and ease-of-use. Definitely open to this possibility in the future!</p>

<p>In theory yes. In practice, however, latency between the CPU and remote GPU makes this impractical</p>
