i know of previous large scale distributed computing projects for years and years ago. e.g. see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SETI@home
is there existing research for something like this but with LLM tech? not just using pre-trained models, but actual training. actually crawling the internet. participants can volunteer some of their computing capacity to run the network.
that's how i think LLM-based tech should be implemented. don't have llots of big datacentres. do it open source, and run everything p2p.
