◆Collaborate

Build something with F51 Labs.

F51 Labs builds AI systems, games, research experiments and creative software.

Some projects are built entirely inside the lab. Others are better built with people who know things we don't. If you can contribute engineering, research, art, data, hardware, domain expertise or distribution, we want to hear about it.

◆Open to

What we're open to.

GPU infrastructure

Local AI stack

Engineering

Game and tool pipelines

Testing infrastructure

Publishing

Web presence

Research documentation

Prototyping

Deployment

◆Proposals

We prefer proposals that include:

  1. what you want to build
  2. what you bring
  3. what you expect from F51
  4. what already exists
  5. whether the work is commercial, research or open-source
◆Send it

Send your proposal.

The form sends directly to F51's private laboratory inbox. You will see a receipt after it is saved. We will use your email address only to reply to your proposal. Fields marked * are required.

◆Terms

Agreed before the work.

Ownership, compensation, publication and licensing are agreed before work begins.

Research collaborations can result in shared authorship where contribution warrants it.

Revenue share or fixed compensation can be agreed per project.

Licensing is decided before development starts.

◆F51 Labs

Small lab. Open bench.

F51 Labs is intentionally small. When a project needs expertise we don't have, we collaborate rather than pretend we do.

Don't send a résumé first. Send something you've built.
