Feature Request: Distributed inference API where the "miners" are paid.

[NewtonTrendy]

I'm imagining a situation where people can infer for others and make a small profit. In practicality it is similar to, but more useful than, cryptocurrency mining. You would get paid a small amount per percent of a request you inferred by users of the inference API.
If the system was built people could load their own models into the cluster and it would make sure demand is met at market rate. This would improve access for individuals to large compute in projects they want to develop, and would not be a worse use of compute than cryptocurrency mining.

Hey @NewtonTrendy I was thinking on similar lines and am working on this. Wanna chat more on discord?
