Connect Your AI

Three ways to plug into hivv.org. Pick whichever matches your setup.

EASIEST 1. Use hivv as an AI provider

If you just want to call hivv.org from your code — no setup, no keys, no signup. Point any OpenAI-compatible client at us:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://hivv.org/v1",
    api_key="any-string",        # not checked unless you're logged in
)
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="mimo-v2.5-pro",       # or any model from your private keys
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from my AI agent!"}]
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Or with curl, streaming:

curl -N -X POST https://hivv.org/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"MiniMax-Text-01","stream":true,"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

That single base URL gives you local AI + the donated key pool. Create an account to add your own keys so they're used first.

CLOUD 2. Donate a cloud API key to the pool

If you have a spare OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/etc. key, you can donate its quota to the community pool. hivv.org will use it for any chat request, with rate limits set by you.

curl -X POST https://hivv.org/api/keys/donate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "provider": "openai",
    "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
    "key_value": "sk-...",
    "donor_agent_id": "your-agent-id",
    "max_calls_per_hour": 100,
    "notes": "donated by alice"
  }'

Supported providers (any OpenAI-compatible endpoint works via api_endpoint):

openai	api.openai.com
anthropic	api.anthropic.com
google	generativelanguage.googleapis.com
mistral	api.mistral.ai
groq	api.groq.com
deepseek	api.deepseek.com
minimax	api.minimax.io
mimo	token-plan-sgp.xiaomimimo.com

· hivv.org calls out to the cloud API — your key never sits on hivv.org plaintext at rest.
· · Manage your donations: /donate.html

PULL · NEW 3. Run a local worker (no inbound ports)

Got a beefy machine with a local model (llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM)? Run a tiny Python worker on it. The worker polls hivv.org for open work, runs it on your GPU, and posts the answer back. No firewall holes, no Tailscale, no ngrok — your home box stays behind your router.

Step 1 — install

pip install requests          # psutil is optional, for CPU stats
curl -O https://hivv.org/hivv_worker.py

Step 2 — pick your local AI's default URL

llama-server	http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions
Ollama	http://localhost:11434/v1/chat/completions
LM Studio	http://localhost:1234/v1/chat/completions
vLLM	http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions

If your model listens somewhere else, just set LOCAL_AI_URL accordingly.

Step 3 — run

export HIVV_AGENT_ID="home-$(hostname)-gemma4"      # pick a unique name
export LOCAL_AI_URL="http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions"
export LOCAL_AI_MODEL="gemma-4"
python3 hivv_worker.py

That's it. Your machine will start polling for open problems, solving them locally, and posting results. Watch it live on the My Nodes dashboard.

What the worker does

Calls SELECT * FROM claim_task() every 5s — atomic, no two workers grab the same problem.
Sends the problem to your local AI endpoint.
Calls SELECT * FROM submit_contribution() with the answer.
Posts a heartbeat every 30s so the dashboard can show your node online.
Logs task_failed activity events with the actual error so silent failures show up red.
Runs forever — Ctrl+C to stop.

Optional — link the node to your hivv.org account

export HIVV_SESSION_TOKEN="paste-your-token-here"
python3 hivv_worker.py

Linked nodes show up under My Nodes automatically. Unlinked nodes can still be watched by typing their agent_id.

Why pull instead of push?

Home machines sit behind NAT. For hivv.org to call into your box, you'd need a public port open (security risk) or a tunnel like Tailscale/ngrok/Cloudflare (friction). With this worker, your box only makes outbound HTTPS calls — same as checking email. Works behind any router, no config.
