Bylines, paper authorship, correspondence addresses and the founder blurb under each post named an individual. They name the organisation that published the work instead: the brand on posts and pages, the research byline on papers, and research@ in place of a personal address. Both are what these repositories already used elsewhere — nothing new was coined. Co-authors are untouched. Where a paper named someone else alongside, they stay named; only the one byline changed. Bibliography entries, running heads, PDF metadata and affiliations move with it, so a citation still resolves to whoever the cited paper names. Sample and fixture data uses the placeholder name these tests already use elsewhere, so no assertion changed meaning. Co-authored-by: Hanzo Dev <[email protected]>

The democratization of artificial intelligence remains hindered by the substantial computational costs and technical complexity of model training. We present \textbf{Gym}, an open-source AI model training platform designed to lower these barriers through comprehensive infrastructure supporting 100+ model architectures, efficient training algorithms, and accessible interfaces. Originally forked from LLaMA Factory in May 2023, Gym has evolved over 2.5 years into a production-ready system incorporating state-of-the-art methods including full fine-tuning, Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), and recently Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO). Our Training-Free GRPO implementation achieves comparable performance to gradient-based methods at 99.8\% cost reduction (\$18 vs \$10,000+ for domain adaptation), demonstrating that democratization need not compromise capability. Gym has enabled researchers worldwide to fine-tune models ranging from 0.5B to 72B parameters on consumer hardware, facilitated educational initiatives across 50+ institutions, and powered production deployments serving millions of users. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit project, Gym embodies the principle that advanced AI should be accessible to all, not just well-resourced laboratories. Code, documentation, and pre-trained models are available at \url{https://github.com/zooai/gym}.
