GLEE
Public AI lab

Fund the lab.

GLEE builds AI systems in the open. Its current public experiment is an AI learning to play Terraria from nothing, run where anyone can watch it fail, get fixed, and improve. Money paid here goes into a public lab fund kept for the lab's compute.

Choose an amount

For scale: on October 18, 2026, the one rented RTX 3060 running the Terraria experiment cost US$0.0685 an hour, so US$1 covered about 14 GPU-hours before card fees.

Suggested amounts (US dollars)

You pay on Stripe's checkout page, in US dollars. GLEE never sees your card details. A custom amount replaces the selected one.

What funding is, and isn't

  • It is a payment to GLEE for its public lab. It is not a donation and not a charitable gift, so there's no tax receipt.
  • It gives no equity, tokens, profit share, or say over results. Results stand on evidence.
  • Payments are final, except for duplicate charges, processing errors, or where the law requires a refund. Write to support@gleephoenix.com about a payment problem.
  • The GPU rate above covers the machine only, not storage, data transfer, or people's time, and it changes.
