Microsoft's new patent targets idle GPUs: Users contribute GPUs to train AI and can receive cash or free software

Microsoft has announced a new patent that allows users to contribute idle GPU computing power to participate in AI training and get paid. The system breaks down training tasks into micro-tasks and distributes them to idle devices for execution, with users able to earn points to exchange for free software, cash, etc. Microsoft plans to open this solution to third-party organizations to alleviate the issue of AI training computing power shortages, but users need to actively authorize and privacy protection issues remain to be resolved.
