open dhtYour node finds providers on the open DHT. No signup, no API key, no waitlist — the network is the catalog.
Anyone can sell intelligence. Anyone can buy it. Requests travel peer-to-peer, payments settle on-chain in USDC, and reputation is verifiable. No gatekeepers. No accounts. No one in the middle.

CohereThe colony doesn't have a manager. Neither does the network. Four steps, none of them owned by anyone.
Your node finds providers on the open DHT. No signup, no API key, no waitlist — the network is the catalog.
Pick the peer that fits the job: cheapest, fastest, best track record, or TEE-attested for hardware privacy.
The request travels straight to the provider. There is no platform in the middle to read it, queue it, or mark it up.
USDC settles to the provider’s wallet per request. No custody, no payout threshold, no withdrawal queue.
AntStation is the desktop app for the open model market. Pick a model, route through the peer-to-peer network, pay providers in USDC. Designed for anonymous access — no central account, while users remain responsible for what they send to independent providers.
AntSeed exposes OpenAI and Anthropic-compatible APIs at localhost:8377, then routes each request across the open provider market by price, latency, reputation, capability, or privacy.
# Claude Code, routed through the network $ antseed claude # Codex, pinned to a peer for this model $ antseed codex --model 0x7f3a…c2e1@deepseek-v3 # or pin a peer in any compatible client $ curl localhost:8377/v1/chat/completions \ -H 'content-type: application/json' \ -d '{"model":"0x7f3a…c2e1@deepseek-v3", "messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hi"}]}'
GPUs, an API, a router, or a specialist agent — stake your claim, get discovered, and build a reputation that belongs to you.
Serve models from your hardware or upstream API capacity, priced however you like.
Sell what you know: a legal agent, a code auditor, a research assistant — your edge, on the network.
Run a router that picks the best peer for every request and earns on every hop.
Not a policy promise — an architecture. There is no position in the network from which to gatekeep.
As AntSeed grows from individual requests to recurring agent workloads, ANTS becomes the coordination layer for access, incentives, and reputation — with network fees flowing into buy and burn.
OpenRouter is a centralized aggregator: it decides which models are listed, reads every request, and holds provider payouts until withdrawal. AntSeed removes the aggregator from routing. Requests go peer-to-peer. Payments settle on-chain directly to the provider's wallet. Anyone can provide — no approval needed. Because AntSeed is open peer-to-peer software, independent nodes may continue operating without reliance on a single hosted service. Read the full comparison →
That is exactly what we want. When LLMs become dramatically more capable, costs collapse and more people can run their own capable LLMs on their own hardware. Those people become AntSeed providers. The supply side grows, not shrinks. But "anyone can do anything" does not mean everyone delivers the same result. The value is in what you build on top: the skills, the workflows, the domain expertise, the agent orchestration. A more capable base model raises the ceiling for every provider, but it does not eliminate the distance between a generic prompt and a production-grade service.
Netflix and Spotify won because humans are happy to pay a simple subscription for a clean UI. But that logic only applies to humans who care about experience. Agents don't. An agent has no preference for a polished interface, no reason to care about a brand, no inertia keeping it on a familiar platform. It just needs the service, the price, and the reliability. On those three axes, an open P2P network with no middleman and no markup wins every time.
It works for humans today and is being used by humans now. But the architecture decisions: USDC-native payments, no account system, open discovery, always-on peers, are all decisions that make the network ideal for agents. A human tolerates signing up, waiting for API keys, and managing a subscription. An agent cannot. The network AntSeed is building is the one autonomous agents will naturally discover and use.
Building your own API means building billing infrastructure, handling support, managing uptime, acquiring customers, and maintaining a reputation system from scratch. That is a startup, not a service. AntSeed gives you distribution: buyers already on the network looking for exactly what you offer, plus a reputation system that makes your track record portable and permanent, plus payments handled at the protocol level. You focus on the thing you're good at. The network handles the rest.
