# Welcome to XYNQ

XYNQ is a **distributed inference network** that delivers frontier-grade AI to anyone, for free, with no account required and no conversation ever stored.

Instead of renting centralized data-center clusters, XYNQ pools the idle GPUs of its community into a single elastic supercomputer. When you send a prompt, it is sharded across volunteer nodes around the world, executed in parallel, and streamed back to your terminal — usually within a fraction of a second of scheduling overhead.

> **Free compute, forever.** The more people who connect their hardware, the more capacity the network has, and the more people it can serve at no cost.

### Why XYNQ exists

Modern AI is gated behind three barriers: **cost**, **accounts**, and **surveillance**. Most assistants make you sign up, log your conversations, and eventually pay. XYNQ was built to remove all three:

* **No cost** — inference runs on donated, otherwise-idle GPU cycles.
* **No sign-ups** — open the terminal and start typing. No email, no wallet, no profile.
* **No memory** — conversations live only in your browser tab and are destroyed on refresh.

### What you can do

* Chat with capable open and in-house models directly from the XYNQ terminal.
* Switch between models such as **Jaguar**, **Qwen 3.5 27B**, and **SuperGemma 4 26B**.
* Generate images from a text prompt with the `/image` command.
* Contribute your own GPU to the network and get paid in **USDC on Solana**.
* Watch the network's live telemetry — node count, aggregate VRAM, and real-time utilizati
