| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |
| Notes | Two front ends share the API: Stable Horde for images and KoboldAI Horde for text. The 51-worker figure is one sample at 2026-10-22T15:34Z and volunteer pools swing by hour. A pseudonymous registered account starts at 25 kudos and outranks anonymous. |
