The research behind the mesh.
Exploring how phones, Macs, and PCs can work together to make AI less dependent on centralized data centers.
Research synthesis · Validated architectureThe heterogeneous AI compute mesh
A research foundation and validated architecture for mobile devices, Macs, and desktop compute nodes.
November 2026 · Architecture overview
One network. Different strengths.
The mesh matches useful tasks to eligible devices.
Phones
Local inputs and eligible short tasks.
Macs & PCs
Larger workloads and sustained processing.
Coordination
Placement, validation, and result assembly.
Distribute work.
Respect boundaries.
Start with bounded independent tasks. Keep personal, organization, and public execution pools distinct.
What we validate.
- 01Does mobile participation add useful capacity?
- 02Can local processing reduce unnecessary data transfer?
- 03Can device-aware scheduling lower completed-task cost?
Measure quality, latency, energy, reliability, and cost per accepted result.

A validated architecture.
This research synthesizes prior work and defines the Quantx design. The architecture is validated in practice across the mesh, and evaluation continues across device classes.
