OpenLabs
Brew with us
OpenLabs is the shared bench: researchers, engineers, and writers building open models, datasets, and evals together. One lab, many hands, credit by name. Pick a station and pull up a stool.
The stations
Four benches, one brew
Every station feeds the same releases. Join where your skills are sharpest, or where you want them to get sharper.
Training and architecture
Pretraining runs, ablations, and the architecture experiments behind the next batch. Consumer-hardware constraints included; that is the sport.
Data and distillation
Corpus building, decontamination, and distillation pipelines for the Distillery. The commons is only as good as the hands that clean it.
Evals and receipts
Preregistered evals, sealed holdouts, contamination audits. The unglamorous work that makes every number on this site trustworthy.
Serving and tooling
Constrained decoding, quantization, and the serving wrappers that make small models behave in production.
House rules
- Work happens in the open: public repos, public discussion, published results.
- Contributors are credited by name on everything they touch, releases included.
- Negative results are publishable results. Same rules we hold ourselves to.
- No unpaid grunt work dressed as opportunity: shared work means shared say.
