proprietary-hosted(OpenMined runs the accounting service that bills paid network services

SyftHub is open source: the SDK is Apache-2.0 with its source public, and the SyftBox network it runs on publishes its server code, so an operator can run the whole stack. The one closed piece is the OpenMined-run accounting service that bills paid services on the network, which free queries do not need.

  Apache-2.0 license on the repo, full SDK source published, README "Build Federated RAG and tap into distributed data sources without centralizing"; 2 stars

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenMined/syft-hub-sdk/main/LICENSE recorded 2026-09-28

  The root LICENSE file on main is the standard "Apache License" text, "Version 2.0, January 2004".

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenMined/syft-hub-sdk/main/pyproject.toml recorded 2026-09-28

  pyproject.toml describes the package as "Python SDK for discovering and using AI models across the SyftBox network" and declares MIT as its license text, which disagrees with the Apache-2.0 LICENSE file; both are OSI licenses and the score follows the LICENSE.

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenMined/syft-hub-sdk/main/README.md recorded 2026-09-28

  README describes the federated pipeline, in which "Only relevant snippets were retrieved and shared", and a section "Setup accounting for paid models" noting "Each new user received $20 upon registration"; paid services on the network are billed through that account.

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenMined/syftbox/main/LICENSE recorded 2026-09-28

  The SyftBox runtime the SDK runs on carries the standard "Apache License" text, "Version 2.0, January 2004".

• https://ungh.cc/repos/OpenMined/syft-hub-sdk/files/main recorded 2026-09-28

  The public file listing of main carries the SDK source, among them "syft_hub/main.py" and "syft_hub/clients/accounting_client.py", beside one root LICENSE.

• https://ungh.cc/repos/OpenMined/syftbox/files/main recorded 2026-09-28

  The SyftBox file listing publishes the server beside the client, with "docker/Dockerfile.server" and "config/server.example.yaml" in the tree, so an operator can run the network the SDK queries.

SyftHub is a very early entry, part of OpenMined's federated-RAG effort alongside local-rag and local-rag-router, and its repository has attracted almost no attention yet. It is included here as an emerging project rather than for adoption to date.

SyftHub federates retrieval: each source is queried where it lives and only snippets leave it, which nothing else on the map does. The SDK leaves the federation itself to SyftBox, which users install separately, so it sits two steps below PySyft, the OpenMined runtime it builds on.

• https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/OpenMined/syft-hub-sdk/README.md recorded 2026-09-27

  README: "Build Federated RAG and tap into distributed data sources without centralizing knowledge"; "Each data source was queried on its own infrastructure"; "Only relevant snippets were retrieved and shared"; outside Jupyter, "Download and run distributed protocol, SyftBox".
