OpenMayhem is an open, peer-to-peer marketplace for AI inference. You can use open AI models through an OpenAI-compatible API and pay only for what you use, or earn money by letting your own computer run models for other people. The software is open source and built by Trac Systems.

Do I need cryptocurrency?

No. You can add money by card and use it like any other online service. Crypto payment options are available, but they are optional.

How private are my prompts?

Requests are encrypted while they travel. Standard providers process prompts in their normal runtime. T3 uses confidential computing to keep prompts private while they run.

Will it work with apps that use OpenAI?

Usually. Change the API address and key, then keep using the same app or code. Chat, streaming, tools, embeddings, images, and audio work when the model supports them. A few OpenAI-specific features do not have an exact match yet.

Can my computer earn money?

Possibly. Regular computers can run smaller AI models, speech tools, and embeddings. More powerful GPUs can run larger models and image generation. The setup check shows exactly what your machine can offer before anything downloads.

How much does a provider earn?

With card payments, the provider receives 85% of what the customer pays and the network receives 15%. Other payment methods show their own split before a provider accepts work.

Who runs the marketplace?

Trac Systems builds and operates OpenMayhem. The AI work happens directly between computers, while the team manages the launch catalog, rules, prices, and disputes. The software is open source, so anyone can inspect how it works.

Why OpenMayhem

You set the rules.

Choose what a request may cost, how fast it should run, and what protection it needs. OpenMayhem finds a matching provider and records what happened.

Set your limits

Choose your maximum price, minimum speed, and level of protection. If no provider matches, the request stops before you are charged.

Your price stays locked

Prices update hourly with supply and demand. Once your request starts, the agreed price cannot change.

Proof for every request

Every completed request creates a signed record of its usage and cost, so you have evidence if something goes wrong.

Choose who you trust

Use community providers, require proof that a machine is real, keep prompts hidden from the operator, or use only verified businesses.
