What If Your Computers Could Team Up to Run AI Models Too Big for One Machine?

What if you didn't need a powerful GPU with 48GB or 80GB of VRAM to run a large AI model?

What if you could simply combine the memory of multiple machines and use them together?

That's the idea behind Pooled.run.

What is Pooled.run?

Pooled.run is an open-source technology that allows multiple devices to work together to run large AI models.

Instead of requiring one machine to have enough memory for the entire model, the model can be distributed across multiple connected devices.

For example:

• Computer A → 12GB memory
• Computer B → 16GB memory
• Computer C → 8GB memory

Together, they can provide around 36GB of available memory for the workload.

How does it work?

Think of a large AI model as a huge building.

Instead of forcing one computer to hold the entire building, Pooled.run divides the workload between multiple computers.
