Host open AI models on your mac, earn $USDC | No token live

Joined July 2026
The world’s largest AI cloud has been sitting in people’s homes this whole time. Millions of Macs sit idle most of the day, already paid for, already capable, and doing nothing but drawing a trickle of standby power. So we built Malibu. Malibu puts Apple Silicon to work serving open models through one OpenAI-compatible API. Developers get lower inference cost while Mac owners earn USDC from hardware they already own. We believe powerful machines should do useful work, and the people who own them should share in the value they create. Learn more about Malibu with the resources below.

We’ve added more models to our network, with more on the way. We’ll keep bringing frontier open models to Malibu, building a home for open-model enthusiasts to explore, experiment, and build.

Your idle Mac Mini is compute someone else could use. We connect it to AI requests, so you can earn $USDC from hardware you already own.

If your Mac spends hours idle, it could be hosting open models instead. Join our private pre-beta and put that time to work.

Malibu has now served 443.52M tokens over the last 30 days. If you already use open models, Malibu gives you another way to run them without managing the hardware yourself. One endpoint, familiar tooling, and a very different price point that we believe you’ll love 🌅

Why Malibu?  “Our name was inspired by the feeling of driving down the California coast with friends, from San Francisco, where so much of AI took shape, toward Mexico. The coastline, the waves, the surf, the freedom to go where you want. That’s Malibu.” 🌅
