That’s just a first step. The next step is to fix issues with, for instance, training instability. It is definitely free work though. There are absolutely ways to get paid to do this sort of thing. But if you believe in learning by volunteering it’s a good option. Having contributions to popular ML repos looks good to tech recruiters as well, so there’s that.

Here's some insights for what I believe to be the most popular ML repo out there right now, which is ggerganov/llama.cpp https://devboard.gitsense.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp https://devboard.gitsense.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp The popularity of this project is kind of insane (which probably explains why it was able to raise fairly easily). If you take a look at https://reviews.gitsense.com/insights/github?q=merged%3Atrue%2Bpull-age%3A%3C%3D120&t=crc-insights&tb=closed&v=ggerganov%2Fllama.cpp%3A%3Agithub%3Aggerganov%2Fllama.cpp%3A%3A%3A%3A https://reviews.gitsense.com/insights/github?q=merged%3Atrue... you can see all the merged pull requests (for PRs created within the last 120 days). And if you look at the "gift icon" you can see how long the contributors have been contributing to the project for. For many, it's less than 4 months, which means many new contributors are successfully getting their changes merged. Edit: Rejected PRs https://reviews.gitsense.com/insights/github?q=pull-age%3A%3C%3D120%2Brejected%3Atrue&t=crc-insights&tb=closed&v=ggerganov%2Fllama.cpp%3A%3Agithub%3Aggerganov%2Fllama.cpp%3A%3A%3A%3A https://reviews.gitsense.com/insights/github?q=pull-age%3A%3... Full Disclosure: This is my tool.

  What the eff is this? This is awesome, I've always hated GitHub limited ways to compare repos/forks by activity. Thank you for making this

    Hey thanks! And hopefully your green username doesn't make people think we are one of the same as your comment, while greatly appreciated, is not some smart (or stupid) marketing strategy on my part. I honestly believe we can work smarter and I talk about the paradigm shift here https://devboard.gitsense.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp?board=gitsense_examples.intro_to_widgets https://devboard.gitsense.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp?board=gits... Note, the repo that is talked about in the intro DevBoard hasn't been pushed yet. DevBoard will be open sourced and I'm currently working on a browser extension (will also be open sourced) that will convert GitHub's insights tab into a hackable dashboard, which should make it easy for people to address GitHub limitations.

      old user here, just want to confirm that this tool is super neat, can see it being very useful for comparing project health when picking a lib to use. hope it can be sustainable/stick around in the future.
