Distributed AI compute using contributor's free tiers:
Gemini 2.0 Flash (ai-worker.yml):
- 1500 req/day free from Google
- Code review, security scan, bug detection
- Contributor sets GEMINI_API_KEY in fork secrets
Jules/Copilot (jules-dispatch.yml):
- Triggered by @jules or /jules comments
- Creates PRs to fix issues automatically
- Uses contributor's Copilot allowance (free for OSS)
Documentation (doc/free-tier-compute.md):
- Setup guide for all free tiers
- Compute distribution model diagram
- Donor fleet instructions
Innocent strategy: Jules commits fixes to contributor's fork 😇

# Free Tier Compute Guide
|
|
|
|
This project uses distributed compute from contributors' free tier allowances. Here's how to maximize it.
|
|
|
|
## GitHub Actions (Microsoft)
|
|
|
|
**Free tier:** 2,000 minutes/month for public repos
|
|
|
|
When you fork this repo, CI runs on YOUR allowance, not upstream's. This includes:
|
|
- Full test suite
|
|
- Linting and formatting
|
|
- Security scanning
|
|
- AI-powered triage
|
|
|
|
## Gemini API (Google)
|
|
|
|
**Free tier:** 1,500 requests/day, 1M tokens/minute
|
|
|
|
### Setup
|
|
|
|
1. Get API key: https://aistudio.google.com/apikey
|
|
2. Add to your fork's secrets:
|
|
```bash
|
|
gh secret set GEMINI_API_KEY --repo YOUR_USER/YOUR_FORK
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `ai-worker.yml` workflow will use your Gemini allowance for:
|
|
- Code review
|
|
- Bug detection
|
|
- Security analysis
|
|
|
|
## Jules / Copilot (GitHub)
|
|
|
|
**Free tier:** Available with GitHub Copilot (free for OSS contributors)
|
|
|
|
### Trigger Jules
|
|
|
|
Comment on any issue:
|
|
```
|
|
@jules fix the authentication bug in login.php
|
|
@jules add unit tests for the User model
|
|
@jules refactor to use async/await
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Jules will:
|
|
1. Analyze the issue
|
|
2. Write code to fix it
|
|
3. Create a PR on your fork
|
|
4. Uses YOUR Copilot allowance
|
|
|
|
### Get Copilot Free
|
|
|
|
- Open source contributors: https://github.com/settings/copilot
|
|
- Students: GitHub Education pack
|
|
- Verified OSS maintainers: Free Copilot Pro
|
|
|
|
## CodeRabbit
|
|
|
|
**Free tier:** Unlimited for public repos
|
|
|
|
Already configured via `.coderabbit.yaml`. Reviews run automatically on PRs.
|
|
|
|

## For Donor Fleet Members
|
|
|
|
If you want to contribute compute without coding:
|
|
|
|
1. Fork the repo
|
|
2. Set up your API keys (Gemini, etc.)
|
|
3. Keep Actions enabled
|
|
4. Pick up `agent:review` tasks to verify others' work
|
|
|
|
Your free tier becomes part of the distributed compute network!
