The open platform where the machine learning community hosts models, datasets, and AI apps
Search, download, and publish across millions of models and hundreds of thousands of datasets, complete with model cards, versioning, and citations.
Deploy Gradio, Streamlit, or static apps directly from a repository to show off a model, run comparisons, or share a tool with a public link.
Transformers, Diffusers, Datasets, Tokenizers, Accelerate, PEFT, TRL, and smolagents give you end-to-end tooling for training, fine-tuning, and inference.
Inference Providers route a single API to tens of thousands of models from multiple vendors, while Inference Endpoints spin up dedicated GPU hardware on demand.
Open data infrastructure where people own and authorize the data behind AI
People collect data from services they already use through open-source connectors, and that data stays on their own device or encrypted storage they control.
A locally running access engine encrypts data and releases it only against a valid on-chain permission, with every read written to a reviewable access log.
Install @opendatalabs/vana-sdk to request user-approved data, read it from a Personal Server, and settle protocol fees from an app escrow balance.
Groups pool data for privacy-preserving compute jobs, so contributions can be used by AI without exposing raw records.
