Welcome To The HCP
It's an international supercomputer built to assist scientists with important research.
We've built a global supercomputer from e-waste and your spare compute power. With HCP, anyone can get paid to contribute their computer's idle resources towards tackling the world's most pressing issues: Alzheimer's Research, High-Intelligence AI, and Climate Modelling.
We care about your data. Read our Privacy Policy.
Our Mission
With our partners in academia, we provide scientists with access to computational resources, helping to shatter AI barriers and accelerate research for positive change.
Our e-waste recovery program repurposes old devices into HCP-enabled nodes, reducing electronic waste while expanding our network.
We also offer discounted laptops for education, pre-loaded with HCP software that runs unobtrusively at night, offsetting costs through distributed computing.
Our sole aim is to promote ethical, responsible practices in technology, creating a lasting legacy of positive change.
Our Products
The HCP App (Internal Testing)
The HCP App is a mobile application that utilizes your device's idle processing power, during your sleeping hours, to contribute towards the training of AI systems.
This is the first effort dedicated towards training a large language model (LLM) using distributed computing across volunteer devices. It will establish the groundwork for much larger training runs.
The app is not yet publicly available.
Our Values
These principles guide our actions and decision-making at the Humanitarian Compute Project:
- Maximizing Impact
- We prioritize initiatives that create the greatest positive change per unit of resources invested, focusing on evidence-based solutions to the world's most pressing problems.
- Radical Transparency
- We commit to full disclosure of our source-code, methods, results, and decision-making processes, enabling stakeholders to verify our effectiveness and hold us accountable.
- Environmental Awareness
- We prioritize eco-friendly practices in our operations, focusing on energy efficiency, e-waste reduction, and minimizing our carbon footprint to ensure long-term environmental viability.
- Open Collaboration
- We foster open collaboration, sharing knowledge and resources globally. Our non-competitive approach unites volunteers, researchers, and partners to maximize impact.
Compute a Better World
Join our global movement to transform unused computing power into positive impact in academia. By contributing your device's idle resources, you can help accelerate breakthroughs in AI, medicine, and other high-impact areas.
Whether you want to contribute devices, offer compute power, or utilize our resources for high-impact projects, we'd love to hear from you. Please reach out to us at partnerships@thehcp.xyz.
