DONATE.md

Donate

Apache software is free software.

For those able & willing to support my work, I can be sponsored via GitHub Sponsors. I also accept unconditional, no-strings-attached donations in the form of GPU cloud credit. This helps me run experiments and train models.

Please do not "attach strings" (e.g. model requests, consulting, brand sponsorships) to donations because some of these channels are anonymous: I may not be able to see who sent what.

Also, along the lines of "Never buy a product based on the future promise of updates", I would discourage you from donating because you expect a specific model to come down the pipeline. Hopefully, donors broadly believe that good things happen when someone gets this man (yours truly) a GPU.

Vast.ai Referral Link

Vast.ai is a vendor I use for cloud GPUs. I "earn 3% of all referred customer revenue as credits": https://cloud.vast.ai/?ref_id=79907

Vast.ai Transfer Credit

To anonymously transfer $5 of credit directly to my Vast.ai account hello@hexgrad.com, you can use transfer credit in the Vast CLI like so:

vastai transfer credit hello@hexgrad.com 5

The usage of the transfer credit command is documented here: https://docs.vast.ai/api/commands#voyTE

usage: vastai transfer credit RECIPIENT AMOUNT

positional arguments:
  recipient          email of recipient account
  amount             $dollars of credit to transfer

Transfer (amount) credits to account with email (recipient).

Note that transfer credit seems to be an anonymous command. If I don't say thank you, its because I can't see the sender!

RunPod Referral Link

RunPod is another vendor I use for cloud GPUs. I earn "5% from serverless and 1% from templates": https://runpod.io?ref=pup8o2ly

RunPod Credit Codes

After signing in to RunPod, under Account > Billing > Credit Codes, you can "generate a code that allows you to gift funds to another RunPod user":

Simply give them the code and they will be able to redeem it for credits on their billing page. Please safeguard your codes as they are worth money! Credits will be debited from your account immediately. You can redeem the code yourself if you want to recover your credits. There is a 2% transaction fee for payment processing!

If you wish to send codes, you can do so by emailing hello@hexgrad.com, or DM me on Discord @rzvzn.
