# Project ProtoStar — Memoranda of Understanding

Signed Public Access MOUs between Hugging Face and the ProtoStar founding partners. Each MOU is a non-binding, non-exclusive framework for releasing publicly funded research artifacts (datasets, models, code and documentation) in AI-ready formats on open infrastructure, with an organizational home on the Hugging Face Academic Hub and open challenges that put the artifacts to use.
