Discord
Where the community lives. This is where the events, the announcements and the day-to-day happen: model discussions, papers worth reading, deployment questions and whatever you are building.

Create. Share. Help.
NaN is the springboard for builders shipping with open AI. Here we Build in Public: you show what you make, you learn from the rest and you ship with company.
01what happens here
A community to build, not just to burn tokens
Everything we run in the NaN community has one goal: that you leave with something learned, something built, or someone new to build with.
Events, workshops and hackathons
Hands-on learning every month. We bring in people who know their stuff to run sessions on AI, open source and everything around building with open models. And we run hackathons to challenge ourselves to build products.
1x/month sessions · 1x/quarter hackathonBuilt with NaN
The community projects section. We help builders get visibility for what they build: we amplify the best projects on social with the NaN and Helmcode megaphone.
your project, in front of more peopleCafé Helmcode
The in-person event. A coffee across different cities to put faces to names, talk without rushing and build as a community. Because some conversations only happen away from a screen.

What we are cooking
Three initiatives already under construction.
NaN Combinator
in progressOur incubator for builders. We want product companies to be born out of NaN, and we will help however we can: training in sales, product, marketing and scaling. Every 6 months we will run a small cohort to help build and scale their ideas, with a Demo Day at the end. The goal: that soon you can say that cool product you use was built in the community.
Ambassador Plan
in progressNaN's ambassador program. Our way of rewarding the people who spread the word: we help you set up and host events on behalf of NaN. Ambassadors are picked from the community, on merit. If you are already moving NaN on your own, this is about giving you fuel.
Open source collaborative project
in progressA NaN repo maintained by everyone. It could be a useful library, a Spanish benchmark of open models or a dataset. What matters: that it belongs to the community, serves the ecosystem and has your name in the commits.

What is coming
We have a lot of plans, but we cannot tackle everything at once. So we go step by step, and in the open.
