Run LLMs at Home with BitTorrent-Style Distributed Inference
Petals lets users run large language models like Llama 2 by pooling GPU resources from multiple peers, similar to BitTorrent. The open-source platform splits model layers across participants, enabling inference on consumer hardware. It supports models up to 65B parameters with collaborative computing.

While clever, Petals faces latency and reliability challenges inherent to peer-to-peer networks, making it more of a research curiosity than a production-ready solution.
