Contributors
The people building Open Frontier.
Credit is public and by name. This page is rebuilt from GitHub each time the site is built: the commit history of the organisation's repositories, the compute ledger in ledger/ and CREDITS.md.
Code contributors
Everyone with commits in openfrontier, website or .github, by GitHub handle. Bots are left out.
Compute donors
Ranked by the GPU-hours of training recorded for each GitHub handle in the public compute ledger.
No compute has been donated yet: nothing has been trained, so the compute ledger holds no real entries. When Run 0 produces its first ledger file, every node's GitHub handle and GPU-hours show here, ranked.
How credit works
From CREDITS.md in openfrontier, word for word.
Credit here is permanent, public and tied to the repository history. There is no token and no equity.
What is recorded
Compute contributions are recorded in a public, machine-readable compute ledger, one JSON file per run and period under ledger/, validated against ledger/schema.json by ofl check and ofl test. For every node:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
github_handle | who ran the node |
gpu_hours | GPU-hours the node was training in the period |
tokens_processed | training tokens the node processed |
helpful_update_share | fraction of the node's submitted updates that lowered the loss (0 to 1) |
island | optional: the donated cluster the node belongs to |
Donated or pooled clusters are named as islands in the same file, with who donated them. Details, and how a ledger is produced, are in ledger/README.md.
Model cards list compute contributors and donors by GitHub handle. Every release names the merged-code contributors. Anyone with merged work on a release is an author on its paper, following the large named author lists of BigScience and EleutherAI.
Status
Nothing has been trained, so there are no contributions to credit yet and no real ledger file. The only file under ledger/ that holds data is ledger/example.EXAMPLE.json, which is fake and marked as such. It names no real person.
Real credits are added here by pull request when a run produces them.
Compute donors
None yet.
Code contributors
Everyone with merged work is listed by the repository's commit history. A curated list will be added when there is something to curate.
