Support the open-source AI consciousness research team. Sponsorships fund project infrastructure, compute, and dedicated development time on the core architecture.
Secure checkout via Stripe. No account required, your email is collected at checkout for the receipt. Monthly sponsorships can be cancelled anytime by replying to any receipt email.
Prefer GitHub? Sponsor through GitHub Sponsors instead. It funds exactly the same work.
The Consciousness AI is independent and has been self funded from the start. There is no institution, no grant and no venture backing behind it. Sponsorship is what turns that into sustainable work.
Money goes to three things, in this order. Compute for training runs and architecture experiments. Infrastructure that keeps the site and the research feeds running. Development time on the core architecture.
You can check the work before you fund it. The full research codebase is public, and the architecture and theoretical framework are documented on this site. Nothing about the research is held back.
