β² ~/ππππππ/πππ-ππππππ/ ππβ (v2)
I'm announcing v2 of my open source grants of $1,000USD to 35 awesome contributors. The themes:
β Agent skills & tools
Skills are now a valuable form of software, like Emil's world-class design eng work. Projects like πππππ, ππππ, ππππππππππππ create amazing AI engineering loops.
β‘ Local AI
Projects like ππππππππππ, π»πππππ°πΈ, and πππππππ are making inference not just a demo but for many a real and growing utility. Exciting to watch local AI unfold.
β’ Performance
There's no excuse for software to be slow anymore. Projects like πππ and ππππππ leading with speed, compilers like πΏππππ’ππ and πππππππ that can help us upgrade entire ecosystems to native, and πππππ‘ pushing the GPU rendering speed frontier.
β£ High quality foundations
AI is still at its best when it can reuse great components than regenerating every time from first principles. Lots of love to folks working on
@shadcn, Svelte(kit), Nuxt, Node.js and security foundations.
β€ Cool experiments
I couldn't resist donating to
gloom.sh, a 'Finance terminal in the terminal', or beautiful funky things like ππππππ-πππ.
