Sovereign Inference combines SIP-AI, a provider-neutral protocol for paid and verifiable AI inference, with SIN, a node that recommends and serves models on local hardware. The open-source project includes signed receipts, provider routing, failover, payments, and an OpenAI-compatible proxy, while publicly documenting its bugs, limitations, and integrations that still require live testing.
