# Contributing to Inference-X
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your interest in Inference-X! We welcome contributions from everyone — whether you're fixing a typo, optimizing a kernel, or porting to new hardware.
|
|
|
|
## How to contribute
|
|
|
|
1. **Fork** the repository
|
|
2. **Create a branch** for your change (`git checkout -b feature/my-improvement`)
|
|
3. **Make your changes** — keep commits focused and descriptive
|
|
4. **Test** — make sure `make` succeeds and basic inference works
|
|
5. **Submit a pull request** with a clear description of what and why
|
|
|
|
## What we're looking for
|
|
|
|
### High-impact contributions
|
|
- **Backend performance** — Faster GEMM kernels for existing platforms
|
|
- **New backends** — RISC-V, custom ASICs, new accelerators
|
|
- **Model architectures** — Support for new transformer variants
|
|
- **Quantization** — New formats, better quality at lower bits
|
|
|
|
### Always welcome
|
|
- Bug fixes
|
|
- Documentation improvements
|
|
- Test scripts and benchmarks on diverse hardware
|
|
- Translations of documentation
|
|
- Examples and tutorials

|
|
### Good first issues
|
|
- Run benchmarks on your hardware and share results
|
|
- Test with models we haven't tried
|
|
- Improve error messages
|
|
- Add code comments
|
|
|
|
## Code style
|
|
|
|
- C++17, no external dependencies
|
|
- One function does one thing
|
|
- Comments explain *why*, not *what*
|
|
- No frameworks, no build tools beyond Make
|
|
|
|
