Project ProtoStar launches to make publicly funded science AI-ready
Project ProtoStar, an initiative led by Carnegie Mellon University and partners including Hugging Face and ORCA, aims to make publicly funded scientific datasets, models, and code more accessible and reusable for AI research. The project addresses the gap between public availability and usability by encouraging systematic sharing in AI-ready formats through open infrastructure and challenges, starting with a climate risk agent challenge hosted by Carnegie Mellon University on November 2.
