Collaboratee or port featues/functions from digitalmint's exo v1 fork by smithcoin? #30
Description
@risingsunomi announced shamantechnology's xotorch exo v1 fork in exo-explore/exo#819 and question was raised if could perhaps collaboratee with @smithcoin or port featues/functions from shamantechnology's xotorch exo v1 fork to digitalmint exo v1 fork to maybe get all improvements in one repo?
Quote from xotorch readme with statement from @risingsunomi
I first learned about Exo after beginning work on my own distributed inference idea in Ziglang. They appeared on my feed, as I was searching online for resources, via X and I become enthused to help on the project. After working and researching on some of the coding bounties with Exo, I was able to become familiar with the code base. With Exo's focus on Exo v2, which appears closed source as of 6/6/2025, and v1 development stopped, I made a decision to continue the work as a hard fork as to not mix this with Exo. I am looking for this project more as more academic pursuit, to solve some early issues and to contribute to open source ecosystem of distributed inference tools. The focus on xotorch, and other xo projects, is more about minimization and focusing on individual Tensor or machine learning libraries instead of all in one. This project is focused on using pytorch and torchtune as, with building out the pytorch inference engine, exo-explore/exo#139 (not accepted), and talking with some of the community around Exo, pytorch has some better reach on running on different platforms. There are plans for a tinygrad version that will be more built around the library. I hope to bring some novel improvments to this and welcome any PRs or Issues.*

This is not an offically maintained fork of Exo.
The sole reason for this fork appears to be stalled maintenance of the project.
PRs are welcome in the hopes that this fork remains stable and will be eventually merged upstream.
No claim of ownership or future claim of stewardship is being made.
No warranty is provided for this fork; use at your own risk.
