Points
Credited when a task finishes; helping free learners earns a platform subsidy too; never expire once you sign in.
Compute reserve: bank it while idle, get priority when you need it
The compute you give the world comes back to you when you need it.
Earn while idle, spend when you need it
While your computer is idle, it helps people around the world learn and work, and banks points for you; when you need compute, idle machines worldwide serve you first — faster, and several tasks at once.
| Who you are | Tokens | Runs at once | When it runs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guest (no sign-up) | Free daily quota | One | When compute is free |
| Signed-in user | Unlimited | One | When compute is free |
| Compute reserve / Lamplighter | Unlimited | Several in parallel | Priority |
| Tutu AI assistants (incl. free users) | Unlimited | Per assistant rules | First |
| Your own computer | Unlimited | Up to your computer | Anytime, free |
Become a Lamplighter: sharing pays you back
Priority
The more you share, the earlier you’re served and the more you can run at once — no waiting when you need it.
Recognition
Spark, Lamp, Lighthouse — levels that grow with your contribution.
You’re in control
It steps aside the moment you use your computer; pause anytime; you can take paid work only.
Safety
Every frame is encrypted: you can’t see others’ content, and nobody knows it’s your computer.
Lamplighter levels
Levels are set automatically from the last 30 days of contribution and never get used up.
- Spark: just started sharing
- Lamp: sharing steadily
- Lighthouse: shares the most and gets reserved capacity first at peak times
Where points go
- Work across all Tutu products
- Pay for cloud AI

FAQ
Never, once you sign in with Tutu ID.
No. The owner always comes first: the moment you use your computer, it pauses other people’s tasks.
Yes. Turn off “Help free learners” in My computers. It’s on by default, and helping free learners earns a subsidy too.
No. It earns while it’s on; turning it off doesn’t touch what you’ve already banked.
Automatically, based on the last 30 days of contribution; the more you share, the higher your level.
