Maya is a free, open-source engine that runs frontier-size open models on ordinary PCs: consumer GPUs, old datacenter cards, AMD Strix Halo laptops, mixed setups with little VRAM. Every release is tested on our own NVIDIA and AMD machines before it ships; the new Mac support has so far only run on GitHub's virtual Macs.

What your sponsorship pays for

  • Test hardware: every feature is checked on real GPUs, and the Mac support still waits for a real Mac to test on.
  • Power and time for building and testing new quants and new models.
  • Faster fixes for the bugs you report.

Current goal: 50 monthly sponsors, to pay for a real Mac and new GPUs for testing, so Maya runs well on more hardware.

Sponsors from $15 a month are listed in the README, and from $30 a month in every release's "Supported by" line.

Hardware donations welcome: if you have a GPU, a Mac or a test machine you can lend or donate, open an issue - it goes straight into the test round.

Every tier helps. If Maya saves you a cloud bill, consider sponsoring a small part of it back.

...let us buy a Mac and new GPUs to test Maya on, so it runs well on more of the hardware people actually own.
