Open Models
Foundation and task models with meaningful access to method, weights or both — under usable licenses.
Open Intelligence
Open intelligence requires more than open models.
It requires governance, memory, evaluation and maintenance. ORÆ is designed to coordinate, fund and document the open AI bricks the ecosystem depends on — the public-good layers nobody owns and everyone needs.
Six layers
Open Datasets & Memory
Reusable, well-documented datasets and long-term memory with clear provenance and licensing.
Evaluation, Safety & Governance
Benchmarks, evaluation harnesses, safety tooling and governance frameworks the ecosystem can rely on.
Open Agents & Coordination
Agent frameworks and protocols designed for interoperability rather than lock-in.
Maintenance & Critical Dependencies
Time-bound support for maintainers of the libraries and infrastructure that hold the ecosystem together.
Documentation & Reproducibility
Documentation, reproducible recipes and onboarding — the unsung infrastructure of a healthy commons.
Get involved
For builders
- Maintain an open model, dataset, eval or agent framework
- Turn it into a clear, auditable, fundable roadmap with Genesis
- Keep deliverables open and reusable
For funders
- Support public-good AI infrastructure with transparent selection
- Sponsor a thematic call, maintenance or evaluation work
- Public reporting, measurable deliverables
The program is in formation — no grants are being disbursed yet, and no partners, projects or institutional recognition are claimed.
A commons is something you maintain, not something you announce.Get involved
