That seems to be the point: you leverage existing workstations on your corporate network and run compute batches at night while they're idle. You don't have to buy any extra servers for your low-priority AI workloads.

We were doing this decades ago with engineer's HP C3600s under their desks. It wasn't AI, just low-priority HPC / fluid stuff batched out to hundreds of workstations.

And on IRIX, SunOS, and DG-UX boxes too. Once Linux existed for a bit, they were added to the fold. The software to do this - Condor - is still maintained.
