Enderchef · reddit · 2026-09-26
DistribAI v2, an open-source distributed training platform built on C++/Libtorch (with PyTorch trainer support), handles crashes, malicious nodes, and unstable connections. The author reports pooling free Colab, Kaggle, and Molab GPUs with a local 4070 SUPER yielded 2 fully-loaded RTX 5090s of compute and 5x 5090 VRAM. v2 adds shareable join links and free hosting via Cloudflared/ngrok.
