Inference Cooperative

AI, governed together.

The Inference Cooperative is a member-governed project providing private AI inference. Members pay dues on a sliding scale and, in return, get private AI chat and API access through shared, cooperatively governed infrastructure. We are fiscally sponsored by Metagov, a nonprofit, and funded through our Open Collective.
