after months of building, excited to finally share antseed's funding round, led by spark capital our similarity to bittorrent isn't a coincidence, it's a design choice. we want a network that's as open as possible, where anyone can take part in its economic activity looking forward to keep building this with @amosmeiri and the whole antseed community lfg 🐜
What BitTorrent did for files, we want to do for AI inference. Antseed lets anyone buy and sell access to AI models, on their own terms. The Antseed Foundation has raised $2.4M in a token round led by Spark Capital to help make that happen.

You can just build things. For years, I was frustrated by how much execution depended on waiting. On teams. On hiring. On someone else to move. So @kotevcode and I built Antseed around one principle: nobody should have to wait for you to build. If you're blocked, use AI. Learn the skill. Build the tool. Find a way. That's what being an 🐜 means. If we keep waiting on you, we'll automate the bottleneck with agents or lose another hour of sleep doing it ourselves. Ownership isn't “I did my part.” It's “I made it happen.” The world changed. Adapt or work for Microsoft.

The Antseed seller dashboard is live. Track earnings, manage models and pricing, and get alerts when something needs attention. This is the first phase of our local AI platform, built to help millions run their own models and offer them to the world through Antseed.

This is really interesting. All of OpenRouter's Deepseek demand (roughly 30% of total OR token traffic) could be satisfied by 5-10 GB300 NVL72 racks. Even if that 10x over the next year, it's 50-100 racks. NVIDIA is shipping 90k racks next year? What am I missing?
ok to put what i'm saying about demand in context openrouter is the most successful model router, you can almost serve 100% of their deepseek traffic yesterday on a single GB300 rack this is worth 6-7M...even if there's 10x this demand secretly that's still < 100M of compute

enormous numbers sound good 🙃

we're on a mission to give everyone a place to access AI, freely and openly. we don't want to be in the middle. we believe no one should hold the keys to what everyone needs.

Since moving part of my AI agent system to @AntSeed on Oct 16: 374M tokens, mostly GLM-5.3 $8.68 vs $38.90 for the same tokens on OpenRouter ~$30 saved, 78% cheaper And as an early user I've earned ~3.4k ANTS. At ~10¢ on @AntseedMarkets that's ~$340, vs $44 I've spent on AntSeed in total. It's paid me to use it!

I’ve personally been using Antseed instead of OpenRouter for <50% of the cost, and have earned a bunch of ANT tokens. I’m a very excited early user!

The @AskVenice-powered provider on Antseed has been using up its daily DIEM credit allowance every day. DIEM holders can supply more capacity and earn from the AI requests it serves. Here’s how: pooled DIEM unlocks daily Venice API credits. The provider uses those credits to serve paying Antseed users, and participants receive a share of USDC revenue after fees, plus eligible $ANTS rewards. Participants have already claimed $5,370 USDC and 1.13M ANTS in total. Have DIEM you want to put to work? diemantseed.com

What excites me most about Antseed Points is how much you can do with it. You can compare provider boosts, earn from your AI usage, stake behind providers and put the ANTS you earn back to work. There’s a learning curve, and I think that’s okay. If you enjoy figuring out how DeFi systems work, there’s a lot to explore here, with rewards tied to people actually paying for AI. More to come!

Antseed token usage per day is going exponential right now, we invested in their round over summer. Since then, usage has exploded for their inference marketplace. Higher, so much higher. @AntSeed @therollupco

you made my day 🐜
I think I will print and pin this up on my wall... This is the day local AI for me went from solo-mode to a team sport. Thank you @0xSero and @exolabs for inspiring me to lean into this cause... and huge thanks to @AntSeed for the Gateway glue to serve it up. And thank you @btopro for the decade of conversations, dreaming up wild dreams ❤️

I'm looking for AI video creators 🎥 Looking for creators who: 1. Have experience creating AI videos (films, shorts, animations, games...) using models like Higgsfield, Runway, Grok 2. Know how to go viral (must have previous examples of their videos going viral) If that's you, send me your best AI videos in DMs! 🙏🫶

over the last few months one of the major frictions i've seen with teams using antseed was sharing it: creating api keys, tracking usage, splitting budgets between people. we collected those feedbacks and are happy to launch the gateway console. a one stop shop for everything on top of antseed: workspaces, members, api keys with budgets, routing policies, usage, logs, funding. self-hosted at /console on your own gateway.
Introducing Antseed Gateway Console. Give your agents, apps, and team access to 700+ AI models at lower prices, with built-in privacy. Choose models, manage access, set budgets, and track usage from one console. Set up your AI gateway → antseed.com/docs/quickstart/
