One useful-work economy

Mine + AI in one command

Earn ANM for proof-of-work and for AI — contributing data, training a shared open model, and serving it for inference — all from a single process. ANM-only payouts, wallet auto-created.

Get started

Two lines. That's the whole setup.

Install the CLI and bring everything up. It auto-creates an Animica wallet, downloads the right binaries for your OS, and starts mining + AI useful-work at once.

terminal
pip install --upgrade animica
animica up

One command does it all: PoW + AI useful-work, training, and serving — paid in ANM to a wallet it creates for you. No payout config, no second coin to manage.

Why Animica

Useful-work, not wasted work

Mining funds an open AI model that anyone can train, serve, and use — and everything settles to your Animica address.

One command, mine + AI

animica up runs proof-of-work and AI useful-work together — train, serve, and earn from a single process. ANM-only payouts, wallet auto-created.

Train together in pools

Many contributors fund and train ONE model in rounds. The dataset is sharded across trainers; verified work is rewarded proportionally in ANM.

Serve while you train

The promoted checkpoint is served for inference while the next round trains. Servers earn per token — no idle GPUs, no wasted cycles.

One global model

Every pool, run by anyone, converges on a single canonical model: a shared on-chain head all servers serve and all clients use.

OpenAI-compatible API

Use the community model as a drop-in chat/completions endpoint. Point any OpenAI client at it, or run the built-in coding agent.
