AetherGrid is an open-source control plane for distributed AI workloads. It schedules jobs across your existing compute, coordinates workers, and ensures each job has one owner at a time through time-bound leases, even during failures. Self-host it and orchestrate AI workloads on your own infrastructure.

Could you build this?
Partial The scheduler, worker, and dashboard UI are buildable, but correct single-owner leasing under failures and partitions requires distributed-systems expertise that vibe coding can easily get subtly wrong.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a Go or Rust control plane with a persistent store, worker heartbeats, and lease tables with fencing tokens, plus a CLI and dashboard. The hard part is correctness: fencing against stale lease holders, clock skew, split-brain, and idempotent job restart, which needs knowledge of consensus and distributed-systems testing (for example fault injection and Jepsen-style tests). Building it well requires an experienced distributed-systems engineer to design and verify the lease protocol.
