Are you also planning to offer other GPU-intensive tasks (e.g., Stable Diffusion)? Seems like an obvious expansion.

I am currently building this! You can try it out right now at https://computerender.com
Seems to work pretty well! Thanks!
It's on our long-term roadmap to offer other services such as scientific computing, monte carlo simulation, AI, etc. One issue that arises from Deep Learning tasks such as stable diffusion is that the various devices in the network need to communicate periodically, especially when training models, which presents problems when the devices are scattered across the globe.
Yeah, I can see that distributed generation of a single image would be challenging, but from what I've seen it's very common to generate dozens or hundreds of independent images, then have a human select the best ones.

There's no need for coordination in that case.
