Apply for community grant: Academic project (gpu and storage)

Hello Hugging Face Team,

I am writing this to apply for a community grant for a academic project of mine that I'm currently working on. The project is a real-time, voice-interactive LLM assistant that can also interact with the host machine. Something like "JARVIS" if you will.

Yes it's fast and effective to run it locally but I have a low end laptop and integrated graphics so running locally isn't even an option for me. Being a teenager in a third world country, upgrading my hardware isn't feasible.

It would be extremely grateful if the HF team could grant me a basic GPU and persistent storage space to continue my development skills and this project of mine.

Regards,
Susan Bhattarai

Hi @ItsSB , unfortunately, our Space grant doesn’t cover ongoing projects.

Oh alright. Will I be eligible when I finish it and upload all the code here?

@hysts

It depends. The grant is intended for projects that serve as demos for academic papers. If your project will be associated with a paper in the future, it might be eligible once it's completed and the code is available.
