Join our
Discord server
MLCommons uses Discord for group collaboration and communication. Join the Discord server here.
What happens after I join?
Once you have joined the server, you will need to accept the server rules, which include the MLCommons Code of Conduct. We also ask that you set your server nickname to identify your name and the company/entity you represent, e.g., John Doe (Initrode).
Which channel do I join?
The Discord server is organized into several channels, and each Working Group has its own category and channels. When you first join the Discord server, the onboarding wizard will ask you to select the Working Groups that interest you and will then make the corresponding categories and channels available based on your answers. If you would like to hide or reveal channels, visit the “Channels & Roles” tab to change your answers or browse the available channels.
Please note that not all channels are available to everyone. Channels corresponding to Working Groups with access restrictions require that users have a “Member” Role. Public channels (e.g., #general-chat) and channels corresponding to Working Groups with no access restrictions are open to anyone.
MLCommons Calendar
The MLCommons Submissions Calendar includes dates for all MLCommons benchmark submissions. The Events Calendar includes dates for all public working group and community meetings.
Community Events
We hold quarterly community events that are open to members and non-members. Please join us for our next event to learn more about what’s happening at MLCommons, and network with fellow community members.
