Distributed by design · Open-ended by nature

disco*

Projects for a distributed, cooperative future. Disco* is a collection of projects built under the idea of being DIStributed and COoperative. The star leaves room for whatever comes next.

01 / The idea

Room for more than one thing.

Disco* is a home for projects that put distributed systems and cooperation to work. The name is a small brief: DIStributed, COoperative—and the asterisk says the work can take many forms.

01 — DISTRIBUTED

Work across many places

Computing and participation can happen across independent machines and people.

02 — COOPERATIVE

Build by working together

Shared infrastructure makes room for many contributors to take part.

03 — OPEN-ENDED

Follow the asterisk

The collection can grow into new projects as people find useful ways to cooperate.

02 / The backbone

The Disco Network.

At the center of the effort is a distributed inference project: the Disco Network. It is the backbone that gives disco* its shared computing foundation.

Core project
↳ inference

A network for shared inference

Inference is the starting point for a broader cooperative computing effort. The network’s distributed design connects independent resources so the work can be shared across participants.

One backbone. A growing collection of projects. An open invitation to build.
