CEREBRAS COMMUNITY CODE OF CONDUCT

Our Pledge

The Cerebras community is built on a shared belief: that open collaboration, intellectual curiosity, and mutual respect are how the best technology gets built. We pledge to make participation in our community a welcoming, harassment-free experience for everyone. We are a community of builders. We hold each other to a high standard in technology and in how we treat the people we build alongside.

Our Standards

Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our community include:

• Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
• Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
• Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
• Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience
• Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community

Examples of unacceptable behavior include:

• The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind
• Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
• Public or private harassment
• Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission
• Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
