 Atix | ok sure i can do AI/ML | 15:04:07 |
 Robbie Buxton | Really up to you! | 15:04:11 |
| Atix | i have experience with model training on it so | 15:04:23 |
| Atix | i dont see the matrix channel for AI/ML though | 15:04:49 |
| Atix | at nix.deb | 15:04:52 |
| Atix | * at nix.dev | 15:04:55 |
| Robbie Buxton | This is probably the closest thing to it | 15:05:04 |

i have experience with model training on it so If your experience with this more on the infra side or on the research side? | 15:05:27 |
| Atix | hmm how do i start with it? | 15:05:29 |
| Atix | both | 15:05:43 |
| Atix | ive won 2 competitions in a row | 15:05:50 |
| Atix | lol | 15:05:53 |
| Robbie Buxton | Like kaggle completions? | 15:06:20 |
| Robbie Buxton | That’s cool! | 15:06:26 |
| Atix | nope | 15:06:55 |
| Atix | interschool stuff | 15:06:58 |
| Atix | im a 14 year old | 15:07:00 |
| Robbie Buxton | Ahhhhh ok | 15:07:06 |
| Robbie Buxton | I would say to start try and get a nix flake with PyTorch working | 15:07:23 |
| Robbie Buxton | And if you can get an end to end training run going | 15:07:35 |
| Atix | i wanna contribute to nix/nixos | 15:07:49 |
| Robbie Buxton | That would be a good start! | 15:07:55 |

i wanna contribute to nix/nixos Sure but you need to start somewhere to have things to contribute! | 15:08:11 |
| Robbie Buxton | I think most of us here are working on related things and then contributing to nix/nixos along the way | 15:09:03 |
| Atix | thank you! | 15:09:07 |
| Robbie Buxton | I.e packaging new things we want to try | 15:09:15 |
| Robbie Buxton | Or fixing bugs we come across | 15:09:25 |
| Robbie Buxton | So I’d come up with a project idea and then try and do it in nix/with nixos | 15:09:46 |
| Robbie Buxton | I’m sure you’ll have plenty of opportunities to contribute if you do that! | 15:10:06 |
 SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | The other active channels are nixos rocm, and also maybe Matthew's nixified.ai (but I think it's more of a user group than a dev room). There's also an HPC and a Data Science channels under nixos-org, and Bionix, - but there's not much happening there I'm afraid | 15:10:37 |
