Malibu

Malibu is a distributed AI inference network that lets Mac owners host open models on Apple Silicon and earn USDC (currently credits, USDC payout at public beta). Developers use an OpenAI-compatible API. The project has a working mainnet product with 23M+ tokens served, GitHub presence, technical differentiation via Secure Enclave signing, and plans a $MALIBU token at launch. Account is 1.5 months old with <200 followers, making it genuinely early-stage despite having shipped product.

Malibu is a distributed AI inference network that lets Mac owners host open models on Apple Silicon and earn USDC (currently credits, USDC payout at public beta).

Developers use an OpenAI-compatible API.

The project has a working mainnet product with 23M+ tokens served, GitHub presence, technical differentiation via Secure Enclave signing, and plans a $MALIBU token at launch.

Account is 1.5 months old with <200 followers, making it genuinely early-stage despite having shipped product.

Green flags: Working mainnet product with measurable usage (23M+ tokens served, growing network metrics) · Real technical innovation: Secure Enclave-based signing for trust-minimized distributed compute · Actual GitHub repository and OpenAI-compatible API live at api.malibu.tech · Clear two-sided marketplace with real utility: Mac hosts earn, devs consume inference · Early-stage (1.5 month old account, <200 followers) with substance already shipped

Red flags: Token not yet live despite mainnet product being operational · Very new account (July 2026) with limited social proof or third-party validation · Founder goes by pseudonym 'a11' with no visible team information

Another 58.68M tokens served since our last check-in. More compute, more inference moving through Malibu 🌅 https://t.co/DA40IN27gh

"The minute you have more providers, you need to make sure that demand is also coming." "At each step we grow, the providers that join need to contribute enough hardware to make AI run at higher and higher capacity levels for the demand side." "The challenge for me personally is to better understand what the actual use case of AI in your everyday life is." - @_aug11_, Co-founder

"Almost every week there is a new model released." "For us, it's building the network, growing the network, making sure everyone has the best experience, but also keeping pace with AI development." "We are in pre-beta. We selectively invite providers to join, and we value their time and effort to help us build the next iteration." - @_aug11_  Our early providers help us turn that rapid development into a better experience on Malibu.

"You already invested money in your hardware. So why not provide AI to other people and earn money?" "Right now, it's just a question of application. From our perspective, the application which is booming in demand right now is AI service." - @_aug11_ We're applying a familiar model of sharing resources to open-model inference, using capacity Mac owners already have.
