Buyer hub
ICP doors, workloads, and evidence.
Open →RenderMac library
Guides for buyers and hosts.
Two paths, one library. Buyers evaluate typed Apple Silicon media APIs for free during beta. Hosts evaluate voluntary, unpaid testing on idle Macs.
Current beta: buyers pay $0. Host testers receive no earnings, wages, credits, reimbursements, or payouts.
