opub
Donated compute for open source projects, with public token spend.

opub is a platform that lets donors fund open source projects with compute credits, giving maintainers access to top AI coding models via API keys. Maintainers can use these keys with coding agents and model APIs to tackle issues, fix bugs, and ship features. All token spend is publicly visible in a ledger, ensuring transparency for donors.
Donors fund project balances on opub; maintainers generate compute keys from those balances and use them with AI coding agents and model APIs, with all spend publicly logged.
