Project Huginn — Distributed GPU Sharing for AI Training | Affordable GPU Compute<br>Project Hugin<br>GPU Owner GuideLogin

Distributed GPU Sharing for Sustainable AI Training<br>Unify heterogeneous GPUs (2GB–32GB+) into a single compute pool. Train AI models at lower cost with measurable sustainability impact.<br>Start Training →Share Your GPU

Why Choose Hugin?<br>One network to train your AI — cheaper, private, and built for the physical world.

🔒<br>Private by design<br>You choose the protection level on every job: Shield+ keeps your data encrypted and split so no machine ever sees the whole — or Vault runs on sealed hardware no one else can read.

Built for Physical AI<br>More than fine-tuning. Hugin Learning trains robot, drone and automation control from scratch — our own breakthrough, for the problems others can’t train.

Verified & reliable<br>Every result is independently re-checked, and a slow or dropped machine never stalls your job. You get a model you can trust — completely hands-off.

What you can build<br>Built for real AI projects<br>Bring your data, train production-ready models across the network, then download and use them anywhere.

Custom language models<br>Fine-tune open models (LLaMA, Mistral, Phi, Gemma, Qwen) on your own data with LoRA & QLoRA.<br>Chatbots · Assistants · Code · Multilingual

Computer vision models<br>Train image classification & object-detection models on your own images, then download the trained model.<br>Quality control · Drones · Cameras · Inspection

Robotics & automation<br>Build perception models and prepare data — augmentation, validation and benchmarking for robotics teams.<br>Perception · Dataset prep · Model evaluation

Hugin Learning<br>Train control policies for robots and agents — the system discovers behaviour from scratch by trial-and-error, no labelled data needed.<br>Robots · Control · Agents · Automation

How Hugin Works<br>Six-step pipeline from job definition to verified delivery with transparent billing.

Job Definition<br>Data classification, target metric, and pool selection.

Cost Estimate<br>HU & GPU-seconds estimate with upper bound and SLA.

Sharding & Scheduling<br>Capability-aware distribution, node selection, redundant execution.

Execution<br>Sandboxed micro-shard execution with telemetry, health checks, auto-retry.

Aggregation & Verification<br>Quality threshold, spot-check, and anomaly detection validation.

Billing & Payment<br>Verified job billing, automatic GPU owner payout.

The journey<br>From your data to your trained model<br>You upload, we take care of everything, and your finished model is ready to download.

Upload your data<br>Secure & private

We prepare it<br>Fully automatic

Trained across our network<br>Powered at scale

Turned into your model<br>Brought together

Download the result<br>Ready to use

Our breakthrough<br>Hugin Learning<br>Our own innovation: control intelligence that learns from scratch — by trial-and-error, with no labelled data — trained and verified across the network. Built for robots, drones and automation.

Learns from zero<br>Discovers the right behaviour by trial-and-error — no demonstrations or labelled data required.

Built for Physical AI<br>Balancing, positioning, navigation and your own custom tasks — the brain that runs robots, drones and automated lines.

Distributed & verified<br>Trained across the network and independently re-checked, so the result can be trusted.

⬡ Engineered by Hugin<br>Your data, protected by design<br>Most GPU networks ship your raw data to strangers' machines. Hugin doesn't. Every job runs under Hugin Shield+ — a multi-layer protection stack we built — or, for the most sensitive work, inside a hardware-isolated Vault .

🛡️ Hugin Shield+<br>Included on every job<br>Protection is built in on every job — at no extra cost. Your data stays private, safe, and completely yours.<br>🔒Private by default — protected automatically the moment you upload<br>🙈Yours alone — no one ever sees your full data<br>🤝Trusted partners only — your work runs on verified, reliable machines<br>😌Total peace of mind — no setup, no risk, no surprises

🔒 Hugin Vault<br>Maximum confidentiality<br>Maximum confidentiality. Your data stays invisible — even to the computer that trains it.<br>🧠Sealed private space — your data is only opened inside a protected area<br>🙈Invisible to the owner — the machine’s owner can never see it<br>📜Proven genuine — every machine is verified before it touches your data<br>🏥For your most sensitive data — health, finance & personal records

You choose the protection level per job — Shield+ is included at the standard rate; Vault adds hardware isolation for the most sensitive data.

Transparent HU-Based Pricing<br>HU (Hugin Unit) is your simple billing unit. 1 HU ≈ 3,600 normalized GPU-seconds. Pre-estimate and upper bound before every job.

0.21EUR / HU<br>Transparent Pricing for Training<br>✓ More iterations with same budget<br>✓ Transparent HU + GPU-seconds billing<br>✓ Pre-estimate & upper bound guaranteed<br>✓ Community, Verified, or Dedicated pools<br>✓ ESG reporting: kWh/HU &...
