Paralon Agent for Mac

Native macOS agent for ParalonCloud — earn points by sharing your Apple Silicon GPU for AI inference.

Requirements

• macOS with Apple Silicon

Ollama is installed automatically if not already present.

Quick Start

1. Go to paraloncloud.com/dashboard
2. Create a new node and select Apple Silicon as the node type
3. Copy and run the launch command from the dashboard

The agent will install as a background service, start automatically, and run on login.

How It Works

1. The agent connects to ParalonCloud and reports your hardware specs
2. When a model is assigned, it automatically downloads and serves it via Ollama
3. Inference requests are routed to your machine and you earn points
4. The agent auto-updates silently when a new version is available (checks every 5 minutes)

Logs

Logs are stored in ~/.paralon/paralon-agent.log and automatically rotated.

Uninstall

paralon-agent uninstall
This stops the agent and removes it from startup. To fully clean up:


rm -rf ~/.paralon
