About Eranos
Eranos is a free service run by volunteers. Answers come from AI models on computers that people lend, so they can be slow or wrong. Check anything it tells you before you rely on it.
Eranos may change, pause or end the service, and may change these terms. Changes are posted on this page.
If you use Eranos
Use it for learning and for your own coding work. Do not use it to break the law, to harm people, to write malware, or to get around another service's rules.
Do not send passwords, keys or other people's personal information. Your questions are answered on volunteers' computers.
Do not try to overload the network or sign up many accounts. Free use is shared fairly; accounts that abuse it may be limited or closed.
If you lend your computer
You choose when your computer may help, and you can pause or remove it at any time. The electricity it uses is yours.
Your computer runs approved AI models only. It never runs code that anyone sends, and it opens no ports.
You must own the computer, or have the owner's permission. If the computer belongs to a school, university or employer, check their rules first.
Credits have no cash value. They buy more use of Eranos, nothing else.
Ages
If you are under 18, ask a parent or guardian before you sign up or lend a computer.
