A Microsoft patent proposes rewards for idle GPUs.

The patent application sketches a way to break AI training into small tasks and send them to phones, laptops and gaming PCs when their GPUs have spare capacity. Device owners would opt in, and the system could track the work and add credits to their accounts. The credits might be redeemable for software, access to the trained model or money. In other words, a graphics chip that’s sitting idle could take on a little extra work. But this is only a patent proposal, not a Microsoft service, and the filing doesn’t say how much anyone might earn.
