antseed

Antseed provides a peer‑to‑peer marketplace where you can run inference on more than 700 large language models without a central aggregator. The service is positioned as an open market that lets you choose providers, set budgets, and keep usage data in a single console. You can access the market either by deploying an Antseed gateway on a server or by installing the Antseed AI VPN desktop client.

The gateway is a self‑hosted endpoint that gives each agent, application, or teammate an individual API key. From the console you select which models and providers to use, define spending limits, and monitor balances and request counts. Because the gateway runs on your own infrastructure, you retain full control over who can call which model and under what budget. The AI VPN offers a similar experience for local workflows: a desktop app that connects your coding tools, personal agents, or other software directly to the market without requiring you to run a server. Both interfaces reach the same pool of providers, which are discovered via a Mainline DHT network similar to BitTorrent.

Providers on the network list the models they run, set their own prices, and receive payment in USDC on Base for each request they fulfill. The marketplace claims lower per‑request costs compared with some commercial APIs, and it advertises privacy by design: no account or email is required, and Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) providers keep prompts private. Heavy users can run without usage caps, paying only per request, while smaller teams can set explicit limits. The platform also supports “offline teams,” allowing you to issue API keys without an online account.
