NaN

NaN is a community of builders who share dedicated GPUs to run open models, enabling users to build applications without paying per token. It targets individuals and teams who want to run and experiment with open AI models using shared infrastructure. Access is provided through a membership, and the platform emphasizes a balance of affordability and hardware capability for serious development and experimentation.

The cluster and accompanying workspaces are accessed through a plan, and users generate a personal API key for integration with tools. The system operates with a single OpenAI-compatible API surface, while the underlying models and computing are maintained by the community. Data privacy focuses on eliminating prompt or response logging and local session handling.

NaN supports a range of open models and tools, with the community voting on model additions each quarter. It provides a public catalog of models and token allowances, and it includes a personal API key that is non-transferable. Members join Discord channels for collaboration, discussions, and events, while the cluster handles the execution of inference tasks.

The service offers multiple membership options and add-ons, including a shared cluster, workspace slots, and a community plan. Plans are priced in euros and are designed to scale for different usage levels. The documentation notes that workspaces are purchasable by any NaN account holder and can be used alongside various agents and tools in browser or SSH contexts.

Use cases
