Build what's next, on us
A community of researchers, educators, and builders doing real work in AI — backed with the resources, recognition, and a direct line to our team. Granted on the strength of your work, not your job title.
Not a discount. A fellowship.
Fellows exists to back people doing real work in AI — and to learn from them. We ask one question: what would help you do your best work? Then we stand behind you with resources, recognition, and a direct line to our team. In return, you help shape where this goes. No institutional email required — it's about your work, not your domain.
Curated, not gated
We read every application by hand. Here's what earns a yes.
Real work over credentials
We care what you've actually built, taught, or published — not which institution you belong to or what your email domain is.
Open contribution
Public code, papers, courses, or community work tell us more than a résumé. Show us the trail.
A clear plan
Tell us what you'll build or research with the access. A focused intent beats a long wishlist.
What being a Fellow means
Recognition, a direct line to the team, and the resources to do your best work.
Official recognition
A Fellow badge on your profile — a standing mark that you were selected on the merit of your work.
A direct line to the team
Bring feedback, report what breaks, and tell us what you need next. Fellows reach us directly — your input shapes the roadmap.
Resources to match
The Fellows tier: generous monthly credits, every model on the platform, and higher rate limits — free for the length of your fellowship.
It goes both ways
A fellowship isn't a giveaway. We back you; you help make this better for everyone who comes next.
Do real work with it
Put the access toward genuine research and projects — not idle hoarding. We back people who build.
Shape the platform
Share honest feedback and tell us what's missing. Fellows have a direct line, and we listen.
Represent the community
Use it responsibly and help the people coming up behind you. A fellowship is a standard to live up to.
Who it's for
Four tracks, each reviewed on its own merits.
Researchers
You're advancing the field, and you want access that keeps up with the research.
Educators
You teach and mentor — shaping people whose work outlasts any one project.
Student developers
A student already building in the open, shipping real things while you learn.
Collaborators
Your work runs close to ours, with something worth building together.
How it works
From application to access in four steps.
Apply or get invited
Pick your track and share evidence of your work — or come in via invitation.
We review
A real person reads your application and scores it against the track rubric.
Get full access
Approved Fellows are upgraded to the Fellows tier right away.
Renew on contribution
Fellowships run for a term and renew as long as you keep contributing.
Questions?
We'd rather back a hundred people doing real work than gate access behind a price tag.
