Redditor proposes folding@home-style crowdsourced open training dataset using leftover agent tokens

Reddit user a300a300 proposes a community-driven open dataset for pre/mid/post-training — an open alternative to the massive clean datasets only big labs can afford.
The folding@home-style idea: contributors would donate leftover weekly limits from tools like opencode or Claude Code to generate synthetic data or do tagging/cleaning for an open collection benefiting smaller labs. He flags the core governance challenge: guaranteeing that any model trained on the pooled data actually gets open-sourced.
