- The co-op now runs more than one isolated agent; the page covers all of them and names infrastructure-bot. - Disambiguates @inference-bot (automation account) from @inferencebot (the steward agent members instruct). - Names the mechanism behind "admitted members": a per-agent allowlist plus mention-required rooms. - Restates the deploy norm to match standing practice (bug and security fixes deploy immediately and are reported; member-visible or risky changes are confirmed first) and points a stricter norm at the forum. - Off switch: who can actually reach it, and that stopping is not restarting.
Inference Cooperative
AI, governed together.
The Inference Cooperative is a member-governed project providing private AI inference. Members pay dues on a sliding scale and, in return, get private AI chat and API access through shared, cooperatively governed infrastructure. We are fiscally sponsored by Metagov, a nonprofit, and funded through our Open Collective.
