Nodes Skill

Overview

Nodes manages the PAI's relationship with the global compute economy. It benchmarks local hardware and interfaces with decentralized compute networks.

Strategic Purpose

To transform idle local resources into economic value and intelligently decide when to use local vs. cloud compute (Compute Arbitrage).

Tools

• •bench: Benchmarks local CPU/GPU and memory performance.
• •arbitrage: Calculates the cost-efficiency of running a model locally via Ollama vs. Cloud APIs.
• •status: Shows status of connected compute nodes/networks.

Use When

• •Optimizing for cost or performance.
• •Deciding whether to run a large model locally.
• •Participating in decentralized compute sharing.
