Goal Implement HF Inference Provider as first-class provider (un-deletable) on Jan Model Provider list. Background Information Regarding Inference Provider HF Inference Provider allow you to choose which specific provider you want through their client library. However, if we choose to their OpenAI-compatible version (which require much less effort on Jan's side), the provider is automatically selected on the server-side. resource This means a few things: If we choose OpenAI API (which Victor has already implemented, the work is more or less done)

Extensions are modular components that add functionality to Jan. Each extension is designed to handle specific features. Extensions can be managed through the Extensions page in settings. Core Extensions Cortex.cpp (v1.0.0) The primary extension that manages both local and remote inference capabilities: Local Engines Llama.cpp: Fast, efficient local inference engine for GGUF models Remote Engines

Recipe based: pretraining, instruct tuning, etc. Tightly integrated with HF Suggest training templates Strategy Build the API & CLI first Don't take on any data engineering/janitorial tasks Tight integrations with HF Magical features

Research Potential message: Hey, Dan/I have been discussing company directions, and we want to take a bet on a being a frontier research team. Specifically around It's very rare for smart & driven folks to collide on the same problem space. What would it take for you to join Homebrew fulltime? What is your concrete ask, across ESOP and cash, so we can evaluate if we are in the same stratosphere? find people to collide into a problem space.

Present interesting questions. Having interesting problems. They need to show metrics: grant applications ask about industrial setting, graduate students, contacts into industry. Tenure track have to show results faster. It's not interesting problems Tenured, have to deliver PHDs have to show entirely new results
