The Bantu Processing Unit (BPU) which is Bantu Data's Flagship device is an ultra-low-cost smart device powered by HeritageOS. Use them normally. When they're idle, they join a distributed compute network — and you earn credits. Your data stays private. Always.
Reserve Yours Today!Need Compute?

Your idle device is worth money.
Here's how.

When your BPU isn't in active use, it contributes its GPU to the Bantu Data compute network. AI labs and researchers pay for that compute. You get credited for every cycle your device contributes.

Idle Device

Your phone is charging. Your router is running. HeritageOS detects idle GPU capacity — without touching your active apps or data.
‍

Work Arrives

The network assigns GPU work units to your device — AI training tasks, simulations, scientific computation. All processed locally.

Results Verified

Every result is cryptographically verified before credits are awarded. No incorrect or fraudulent work is compensated.

You Earn Credits

Credits accumulate automatically. Redeem them for mobile data, Bantu Data services, partner products, or withdraw as cash.

Why Teams Choose Bantu Data

Irreplicable Data Moat

We solve the industry’s most criticalchallenge—poor data quality. Our unique,proprietary aggregation and structuringprocess guarantees the highest-volume,highest-rigor data foundation for superior AIapplication performance.

Cloud-Native& OSDU Ready

Forget legacy silos. Data is delivered instantlyvia a robust, developer-friendly REST API. Allpayloads are structured using acomprehensive JSON Schema specification,ensuring seamless integration with modernplatforms like OSDU.

Predictable DaaS API

Access mission-critical data via ahigh-margin, scalable subscription model. OurDaaS approach guarantees predictable costs,instant access to updates, and a permanent,secured competitive edge for your enterprise

Privacy by Design
‍Your data never leaves your device

On-Device Training Only

Federated learning means AI models train locally on your phone. Only encrypted model weight updates are shared — never your photos, messages, voice, or personal data.

No Data Extraction

Bantu Data has zero access to your raw data. The system is architecturally incapable of reading, copying, or transmitting your personal information. Privacy isn't a policy — it's the engineering.

You Control Everything

Choose what your device contributes: compute only, federated learning only, or both. Pause anytime. Opt out permanently with one tap. No penalties, no lock-in.

The Bantu Cultural Ontology
‍An AI built through culture

The Bantu Cultural Ontology is an AI knowledge system trained through federated learning across the Bantu Data device network. It captures language, traditions, philosophy, and lived experience from communities across the diaspora — without ever extracting raw data from any device.This isn't data mining. It's collective intelligence. Every device owner contributes to building an AI that understands Bantu culture from the inside — not one scraped from the internet by a Silicon Valley company.The ontology powers language models, cultural recommendation engines, educational tools, and research datasets — available as an AI service to organizations, educators, and developers worldwide.

Federated Learning

AI models train on your device. Only model updates — never raw data — leave your phone. Your conversations, your photos, your life stays yours. Period.

Community Intelligence

Every device owner who contributes to training earns credits and shapes the AI.

Language & Cultural Preservation

Captures linguistic patterns, oral traditions, and cultural context across hundreds of Bantu languages and dialects — many underrepresented in existing AI systems.

Available as an AI Service

Researchers, educators, and developers can access the Bantu Cultural Ontology via API for language processing, cultural analysis, educational content, and more.
