Getting started

Quickstart

Three ways in: use the network, verify the claims yourself, or contribute compute and earn.

Call the API

The inference endpoint is OpenAI-compatible, so most existing SDKs and tools work by changing the base URL. Prompts are billed in tokens and are not attached to a profile.

curl https://api.noviqai.xyz/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOVIQ_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "noviq-max-27b",
    "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Explain private inference." }]
  }'

Models

Native GPU workers advertise larger models (for example noviq-max-27b); in-browser WebGPU workers advertise lighter ones (for example noviq-browser-8b). Availability depends on who is online in the swarm.

Run the proof gates

The privacy and correctness claims are not asks for trust - they run on CPU in seconds. Clone the research repo and run the gates yourself.

git clone https://github.com/Noviqai-xyz/noviq_swarm
cd noviq_swarm

python3.12 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install torch cryptography numpy

# Gate A - the split run is bit-identical to the whole model
.venv/bin/python -m proof.correctness_gate

# Gate D - a reconstruction adversary drops from ~100% to near chance
.venv/bin/python -m proof.obfuscation_gate

What you should see

Gate A reports token-identical output across two processes over the sealed wire. Gate D reports the untrusted node's prompt recovery collapsing while the final output stays bit-identical.

Contribute a GPU

A worker is a small client that connects to the orchestrator over a WebSocket and serves inference jobs. There are two ways to run one:

Native. Point the worker at a local Ollama install with a capable model. Best throughput, best earnings.
Browser. Open the /earn page on a WebGPU-capable browser and it becomes a worker with zero install.

See Workers and earning for setup, model classes, and how payouts work.

Stake $NOVIQ

If you would rather back the network than run it, stake $NOVIQ from self-custody and earn a share of real network revenue. Only your wallet can unstake or claim. See Staking and treasury.
