I've been building OBSIDIAN Neural for the past year — a VST3/AU plugin that generates audio in real time, directly in your DAW, during a live performance. 4,200+ downloads, presented at AES AIMLA 2025 in London.
The infrastructure runs on a distributed GPU network. Providers run a small Python server, handle generation requests, and receive an equal share of 85% of monthly subscription revenue via Stripe Connect. No token, no crypto — euros to your bank account. You also get 500 free credits/month to use the plugin yourself.
I'll be honest: the platform has been live since October 2025 and has no paying users yet. I'm a solo indie developer without the marketing budget to compete with AWS-backed AI music platforms. That's exactly why I built it this way — cooperative, transparent, community-owned. The goal is to grow this together, against the grain of centralized AI infrastructure controlled by large corporations.
Each provider will receive exclusive promotional codes to share with their network, giving them a direct role in growing the platform and their own revenue share from day one.
The whole thing is open source. Revenue data is published publicly. Nothing hidden.
If you have an NVIDIA GPU and want to be part of the founding infrastructure of something built differently, I'm looking for 10 people for phase 1.
