What is Stable Horde?

AI Horde is a free, community‑powered platform that lets users generate AI images and text using volunteer CPU and GPU resources. The service provides open‑source image and text generation workers that can be accessed through a simple REST API, enabling seamless integration into apps without vendor lock‑in.

Front‑end web apps such as ArtBot allow anyone to enter prompts and receive generated content without any coding or setup. Workers contribute idle compute power and earn kudos, which users spend to increase queue priority; kudos are non‑sellable and can be gifted.

Live statistics display real‑time throughput and queue depth for image, text, and utility tasks, giving insight into network performance. The platform supports additional utilities like captioning, interrogation, and upscaling through dedicated “Alchemist” workers, and offers a developer‑friendly documentation hub for API usage.
