Open-Source AI Bounty Platform

Fund the open-source AI features you need. Built by the contributors who know the code best.

Mergd connects AI entrepreneurs with top open-source contributors. Post a bounty, get expert proposals, and pay only when the code is merged upstream.

How It Works

Three steps from idea to merged code.

01

Post a Feature Request

Describe the feature or fix you need in any open-source AI project. Set a bounty that reflects the value to you.

02

Contributors Propose Solutions

Vetted open-source contributors who know the codebase submit proposals. You pick the best approach.

03

Code Gets Merged, You Pay on Delivery

The contributor submits a PR, it gets reviewed and merged upstream. You only pay when the code ships.

What You Can Fund

Any improvement to an open-source AI project is fair game.

Custom Model Fine-Tuning

Add fine-tuning capabilities or new training recipes to frameworks like transformers, axolotl, or LitGPT.

Library Integrations

Connect tools like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or vLLM with the services and formats your stack needs.

Bug Fixes in AI Frameworks

Fix critical bugs in PyTorch, JAX, ONNX Runtime, or any framework your production pipeline depends on.

New Model Format Support

Add GGUF, SafeTensors, or custom format support to inference engines and model hubs.

Performance Optimization

Speed up inference, reduce memory usage, or add quantization support in the tools you rely on.

Documentation & Examples

Get comprehensive docs, tutorials, or example notebooks for poorly-documented but critical AI libraries.
