## What is Dria?

Dria is a decentralized Edge AI network — a distributed, crowdsourced hyperscaler that delivers fast, affordable AI inference powered by everyday people.

Anyone can contribute by **running a node** to serve AI models and earn rewards, or **use the network** to run inference across a global fleet of compute nodes from the command line.

Dria powers scalable, high-performance inference across diverse CPU and GPU hardware. No Ollama, no external dependencies — just a single binary that runs models natively using llama.cpp.
