# 5.1 Utility Based on Real Computing Power

ACP creates real-world utility by converting GPU availability into usable compute time for the AI industry. This includes training and inference, fine-tuning, and real-time model deployment.

* ACP tokens can be used to pay for compute operations such as LLM queries, API inference, and model fine-tuning.<br>
* ACP functions as a prepaid digital credit representing AI compute time.
