Farcaster mod bots quietly depend on one AI vendor's API key. Here's an architecture that removes the single kill switch, using decentralized GPU compute.

Community moderation bots on Farcaster typically route inference through a single centralized AI API, reintroducing the platform risk the protocol was built to avoid. This essay proposes an architecture that swaps exactly one piece, where inference runs, onto decentralized GPU markets like Nosana, using open-weights moderation models with a human-review floor. It also spends real time on the unsolved part: verifying subjective classifications from untrusted hosts without re-centralizing.
