# pure---internet

[PROJECT](https://pure---internet.com)

pure---internet is a collection of things built on the web off the beaten path. It started as an exploration of novel hosting and outgrew that framing.

- Bard\
A tiny GPT whose weights live entirely on Ethereum, written on-chain as data contracts. The browser reads them straight off-chain and generates text. No server, no API.

- Dead presidents\
A from-scratch GPT trained on the inaugural and State of the Union addresses of presidents who are no longer with us. Inference in the browser.

- Epochs\
The frontend for the Epochs contract on mainnet, rebuilt from broken artifacts. The original went offline and I missed it.

- Feral\
A site served from a solar-powered Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.

- NFC\
A page compressed into its own URL, small enough to write to an NFC tag.

- TXT\
A website published in a domain's DNS TXT records.
