Monday: Darkbloom goes live on OpenRouter.

Every OpenRouter user gets a free trial of private inference, powered by idle Macs around the world.

And for providers -- next week we're launching an Alpha Rewards Program: earn up to $40 guaranteed just for running a node. Limited time while we're in alpha. Breakdown in the replies.

The network is ready for it. Since our Public Alpha two weeks ago: Gemma 4 is now multimodal, SSD caching has made time-to-first-token much faster, and load tests show we can sustain millions of tokens per second -- with more upgrades landing before launch.

If you run a node: turn it on. Demand arrives Monday.
If you have a Mac: darkbloom(.)dev → one install command and you're earning.

The world's sleeping compute is waking up.

How do you give Cursor, Claude Code, and Devin access to secrets without handing them the keys to production?

@OpenRouter had to figure this out.

70+ model providers. New ones added every week. Each one bringing API keys that needed to reach specific services.

For a while, custom scripts and manual updates held it together.

Then their engineers started shipping with AI agents, and the old system couldn't answer a basic question: which credentials should an agent get, and which should it never touch?

They built three access tiers with Infisical:
→ Dev secrets for engineers
→ Session-scoped credentials for AI agents
→ Locked-down access for production workloads

Adding a new provider key went from a multi-service chore to a single update. 50+ engineering hours saved per month.
