Current work:

├──Creator of Darkbloom: Private AI inference on verified Macs

The network we’ve built All time

Fetching verified network totals…

What these numbers count

Cumulative network totals from Darkbloom’s public API, refreshed every five minutes. Tokens include input and output; jobs count inference earnings records. Provider accounts are accounts with recorded earnings, not currently online machines. Earnings include inference work and base, referral, and admin rewards; they are not withdrawals.

Eigen Labs has raised $250million+ from a16z and others.

I’m now focused on Darkbloom and Yukon Research—distributed autoresearch for systems that expand individual agency and reward merit.

I’m on my 3rd gap year for this company by the way.
