SemiAnalysis, Apr 2026The problem
The AI boom is being built without you.
It needs more than buildings can give
AI needs power and space faster than new data centers can be approved, wired and cooled.
It happens to you, not with you
Your bills, your grid and your town feel the strain, while the upside goes somewhere else.
It belongs to a few
The most important technology of our time shouldn't be owned by a handful of companies.

FAQ
Straight answers.
What does the node do?
It runs AI work for businesses, like answering questions or generating images. It sits on its own network, separate from your devices, and can't reach anything in your home.
What do I pay?
Only the electricity it uses. The node, installation, repairs and removal are free. Your offer shows the estimated power use before you sign.
Is this an investment?
No. You're paid for hosting: space, power and internet. You don't own the node or any share of Vicinode, and the uptime bonus can be zero.
What if I move?
The buyer can take over your membership if their home qualifies. If not, we remove the node at no cost to you.
Is it loud?
It's built for a garage, basement or utility room. Exact sound and heat figures will be published with the final hardware.
