We’re a group of builders, researchers, and tinkerers working on open-source large language models.
No government spin, no corporate gatekeeping, no uni red tape. Just people who want to get hands-on, share knowledge, and make something real.

Everyone’s welcome — whether you’re brand new or already deep in the field. You can:

• Jump in with code, data, or documentation
• Help out with testing and feedback
• Join the chat, throw around ideas, or learn as you go

This is a community for people who want to make AI without the nonsense.

To keep things organised, every repository follows:

• 🧠 Models → models- for language models
• 📊 Data → data- for datasets and pipelines
• 📚 Docs → docs- for documentation, papers, admin
• 🌐 Web → web- for web apps and portals
• 🚀 Projects → projects- for new ideas and prototypes
• 🛠 Infra → infra- for infrastructure and tooling
  `

We’re rebranding from Southern Cross AI to Joey LLM.
This is a fresh start with clearer focus, real resources (GPUs + data pipelines), and stronger foundations.
You don’t need to be an expert — just willing to learn and contribute.

• 🖥 System Maintainer → infra, servers, deployments
• 🤖 Model Maintainer → training, fine-tuning, inference
• 🌐 Web Maintainer → apps, APIs, demos
• 📊 Data Maintainer → collection, cleaning, pipelines

• 📖 Docs Maintainer → guides, tutorials, onboarding
• 🎤 Community Maintainer → meetups, Discord, Hugging Face
