Our Work

Partners & Projects

Who we work with, what we did, and what happened, plus the ways partners can join each of Project Stardust's four parts.

The AIforE Marketplace

Synergies, not silos

One of our eleven programs is the AIforE Marketplace — connecting best practices, products, and services across our community, so organizations adopting the Five R's don't have to solve the same problems in isolation. It includes the AIforE carbon marketplace, where organizations' measured AI footprints meet verified sustainability providers.

Partners work with us across the four parts of Project Stardust, our open, end-to-end AI sustainability operating system: the telemetry standard, the benchmark harness, the Efficiency Control Plane and the sustainability ecosystem connections.

As partnerships and case studies are confirmed, they'll be published here in the same format: who we worked with, what we did, and what happened.

The AIforE Sustainable AI Lifecycle: a five-step cycle of 1 ROI, 2 Right-Sized, 3 Renewable, 4 Recycled (shown with recycling, heat and water symbols) and 5 Remediate, around the words AIforE, Sustainable AI Lifecycle, AI For Ecology, over a green landscape with trees and a pond.

Sustainable App and Infrastructure Spec

What we did: We developed the strategy and specification for the AI app and infrastructure sustainable plug-in, now part of Project Stardust. They plan to build on top of our open-source deliverables for their portfolio companies.

Outcome: The spec MVP was delivered, and the open-source code is now public on GitHub, with the telemetry standard published as RFC 0001. We're iterating to meet our joint needs.

Four ways to join Project Stardust

Every part of Stardust is developed in the open, with the organizations that run, buy and offset AI. Pick the part that fits what you do.

1

Stardust Telemetry Standard

For AI providers, cloud and platform teams, data-center operators and observability vendors. Implement RFC 0001 at the level your access allows, from browser extension to data-center floor, and help shape it while it's open for public comment.

Comment on RFC 0001 ↗

2

Open Benchmark Harness & Leaderboards

For model developers, hardware makers, researchers and universities. Contribute reference hardware, models, serving frameworks and test prompts, and help measure energy per token and useful output per kWh in the open.

3

AIforE Efficiency Control Plane

For enterprise AI teams and AI application builders. Pilot right-sizing on real workloads with the open-source reference efficiency router, and see the measured savings and quality trade-offs for yourself.

4

Sustainability Ecosystem Connections

For carbon removal, restoration, clean energy, water and heat-recovery providers, and the registries behind them. Join the AIforE carbon marketplace as a verified provider through the open Provider-Service interface.
