Hardware & OS Requirements

Supported platforms and resource guidance for TAH

Supported Platforms

• macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel). M‑class chips are recommended for efficiency but not required.

• Linux support is planned; Windows is not yet supported.

Minimum Specs (participate)

• CPU/GPU: Any modern Apple Silicon or Intel Mac capable of sustaining training loads.

• Memory: 16 GB RAM minimum.

• Disk: At least 10 GB free for binaries, caches, and logs; up to 30 GB may be required depending on the current model size being trained.

• Network: Fast, stable internet connection is imperative; training will stall on intermittent links.

• Power/uptime: Keep the machine plugged in and awake to maintain contribution.

Recommended Specs (best performance)

• Apple Silicon M‑class chips (M1/M2/M3) for best performance-per-watt.

• 16–32 GB RAM to avoid swapping under load.

• Wired Ethernet or strong Wi‑Fi 6 for steady throughput.

• Use a cooling pad or elevated stand to reduce thermal throttling during long runs.

Network & Security

• Requires a reliable internet connection throughout the session; reconnects may drop your rewards.

• Run on a trusted network; avoid captive portals or VPNs that frequently re-authenticate.
