Why ANM-only billing?
AICF settles natively on Animica. ANM billing keeps accounting, escrow, rewards, and governance on-chain and auditable.
FAQ
Common Questions
Clear answers for developers spending ANM and providers earning ANM through decentralized compute on Animica.
How do providers earn ANM?
Providers run benchmarked workers, receive jobs, submit receipts, and claim rewards. Routing weight depends on uptime, quality, and stake/reputation.
Can smart contracts fund AI jobs?
Yes. Contracts can lock ANM into escrow and trigger model jobs through contract-driven workflows with dispute windows and deterministic receipts.
Is there a Python source option for providers?
Yes. AICF ships a Python bundle for providers who want source-level control, custom runtimes, and local instrumentation.
Does AICF support training workloads?
Yes for managed job orchestration. Fine-tuning and longer training runs are supported through asynchronous job classes and budget controls.
