Data scientists
About a third of our membership are working data scientists or ML engineers doing AI research on the side. The lab fits around your work, not the other way around.
Independent researchers
Roughly 38% have no current institutional affiliation. We pay independents in cash and compute, and our review process explicitly ignores CVs.
Hackers
The remaining quarter identify primarily as hackers — people who'd rather ship a tool or a benchmark than write a paper. Their work shows up in production stacks.

Membership is free. The fastest way in is to submit a mini-grant proposal, enter a competition, contribute to an open-call project, or apply for a fellowship.
