We identify, support, and amplify the individuals and projects building the open intelligence stack — from foundational models to research agents, data pipelines, and decentralized infra.
A high-touch, cohort-based fellowship for OSS contributors to learn, build, and lead — designed to grow technical talent and community momentum around open-source AI projects.
Celebrates and recognizes top contributors through initiatives like the OS Hall of Fame and the annual gala, while hosting flagship events (e.g. Open Source AI Week) to convene the global OSS AI ecosystem.
Connects physical infrastructure, grants, and funding into a scalable network that supports OSS teams with resources, capital, and pathways to startup or collective formation.
