OPEN INFRASTRUCTURE · FOR LARGE-SCALE AI

A research commons
for large-scale AI.

Shared compute, routed models, and open tools — so anyone serious about AI research can use them and contribute back.

Free for academic and independent researchers.

WHAT IT IS

Three pieces, designed to be used together.

  • Routed model access

    One key, one client, every major model provider — OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible, multi-tenant, with per-org budgets.

  • Workspaces for research groups

    Organizations, invites, and keys built for labs. Manage upstreams and budgets together; researchers move between projects without re-keying.

    Learn more →
  • Open code, open governance

    The infrastructure is open source. Researchers can run upstreams, propose policy, and extend it. No private layer.

PRINCIPLES

Built like scientific infrastructure, not a product.

  • Openness over opacity.

    All code, configs, and policy are public. Governance happens in the open, not behind a contract.

  • Pooled, not owned.

    Resources are shared by the community. One team's project doesn't block another's; budgets are visible to everyone in a workspace.

  • Built to be replaced.

    When better infrastructure exists, ours steps aside. The goal is research, not the project itself.
