Fill the form at iota.macrocosmos.ai/train-at-home. TAH will open to everyone soon and all regions are supported.

MacOS at launch, Linux following soon after. Windows is not on the roadmap yet. For more details have a look at Hardware & OS Requirements.

Ensure that

  • you are whitelisted (or TAH is open)

  • the status shows Connected

  • and you have a stable network.

If you have any other issues please contact us through channels listed at TAH Support.

How can I improve performance/heat?

Keep the machine plugged in, use a cooling pad/stand, and close heavy GPU/CPU apps. You can pause anytime by toggling Start training off.

How important is my internet connection?

Very. A fast, stable connection is imperative: flaky Wi‑Fi, captive portals, or VPN drops can pause or remove you from a run.

How do updates work?

The app auto-updates on startup or prompts when an update is available. Staying current is essential to avoid errors or security issues.

What data do you store?

We store your public coldkey to pay you, and may store location and hardware metadata to allocate runs and monitor performance. Some training artifacts are stored locally on your machine.
