Eigen Labs launched Darkbloom, a decentralized inference network that monetizes idle Apple Silicon machines for AI inference. The system uses end-to-end encryption with hardware-verified privacy guarantees, offers an OpenAI-compatible API, and claims 50–70% cost savings compared to centralized providers while allowing hardware operators to retain 100% of inference revenue. The platform targets the 100+ million idle Apple Silicon machines globally.
