At the Vector Institute, we are dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence (AI) research and translating cutting-edge innovations into real-world solutions. Our open-source projects reflect our commitment to collaboration, transparency, and the responsible deployment of AI technologies. Here, you’ll find tools, frameworks, and resources that empower organizations and researchers to harness the full potential of AI.

Our open-source contributions aim to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical application of AI. We build tools, MVPs, reference implementations and educational resources that empower researchers, developers, and organizations to innovate and solve real-world problems with AI. Our projects span various domains and are designed to be accessible, adaptable, and impactful.

Here are a few key projects that exemplify our mission:

VectorInstitute/vector-inference is a project focused on providing efficient and streamlined LLM inference on Slurm clusters. It provides a simple command-line interface and examples for deploying LLMs using vLLM.

• The VectorInstitute/ai-pocket-reference serves as a concise and accessible guide to essential AI concepts, algorithms, and techniques. It's designed to be a quick reference for practitioners and students, covering a wide range of topics ranging from basics to advanced SOTA approaches.

• The VectorInstitute/implementation-catalog offers a curated collection of implementations for various AI algorithms and models. This catalog provides practical, working examples that demonstrate how to implement these techniques in code. It's an invaluable resource for those looking to understand and apply AI algorithms to their problems and datasets.

We believe that open-source AI tools are essential for fostering innovation and addressing global challenges. By sharing our work, we aim to:

• Accelerate AI Adoption: Provide accessible tools that lower barriers to entry for organizations and researchers.
• Drive Collaboration: Encourage partnerships across academia, industry, and government to solve complex problems.
• Promote Responsible AI: Ensure that AI technologies are developed and deployed ethically, with transparency and accountability.

We welcome contributions from the global AI community. Whether you’re a researcher, developer, or industry professional, there are many ways to engage with our projects:

• Explore Our Repositories: Dive into our code and documentation to understand how our tools work.
• Contribute: Submit issues, suggest features, or submit pull requests to help improve our projects.
