Redis creator antirez announced a grant from the Human Rights Foundation's AI for Individual Rights Fund for his DwarfStar project, which will support open models as new affordable inference systems and new models become available.
HRF's second grant round funds six projects, including an offline AI model to deliver uncensored information into North Korea (Skyhook Professor), an Anti-Corruption Foundation hackathon for democracy tools, and efforts to optimize open-weight models to run privately on personal devices.
