Where to Find Arm Code, AI Models, and Community Support

Updated

Arm Developer (developer.arm.com) is the hub for Arm's developer resources. From its homepage you can reach GitHub for repositories, toolkits, and OS projects; Hugging Face for AI models optimized for Arm; and Discord, GitHub, Reddit, forums, and X for community support. On-demand videos and demos cover how-to guidance. All of these are linked directly from the site's main navigation sections, so you don't need to search elsewhere.

Code and Repositories: GitHub

The homepage's GitHub entry ("Access repos, toolkits, and OS projects. Explore Code") is the starting point for source code. Use it when you need:

  • Arm-related repositories and sample projects
  • Toolkits for building on Arm
  • Operating system projects

How to use it: From the Arm Developer homepage, select the GitHub link under the code section. You'll land on Arm's GitHub presence, where you can browse repositories and toolkits. The expected result is a list of Arm-maintained or Arm-relevant projects you can clone or inspect.

Common snag: GitHub hosts many organizations and repos. If you arrive at a general GitHub page rather than Arm's, confirm you followed the Arm Developer link rather than searching GitHub directly.

AI Models: Hugging Face

The Hugging Face Models entry ("Find optimized AI models for Arm. Explore Models") points to models tuned for Arm hardware. This is the right destination when your task is deploying or evaluating AI models on Arm rather than writing general application code.

How to use it: Follow the Hugging Face link from the Arm Developer homepage to browse optimized models. The expected result is a catalog of models prepared for Arm deployment.

Step-by-step learning Learning Paths / On-Demand Videos

Learning Paths and On-Demand Videos

Two homepage sections support guided learning:

  • Learning Paths — "Follow tutorials to build on Arm." Use these when you want a structured sequence rather than a single reference page.
  • On-Demand Videos — "Watch how-to videos and demos." Use these when you want to see a task performed before trying it.

How to use them: Select Learning Paths to follow tutorials in order, or On-Demand Videos to watch demos. The expected result is either a tutorial sequence or a video walkthrough you can follow alongside your own work.

Community Support: Discord, GitHub, Reddit, Forums, X

The "Build the Future. Together." section lists five community channels: Discord, GitHub, Reddit, Forums, and X. Each serves a different purpose:

  • Discord — real-time chat with other developers
  • GitHub — issues and discussions tied to specific repositories
  • Reddit — informal discussion and community experience
  • Forums — threaded Q&A
  • X — announcements and short updates

How to choose: If your question is tied to a specific repository, start with GitHub. For open-ended troubleshooting, try Discord or the Forums. For broader discussion, Reddit. For news and updates, X.

Tools and Downloads

The Software Dev Tools section ("Download tools, libraries, and models. Explore Tools") is where you obtain the software itself. Use it when you already know what you're building and need the toolchain, libraries, or models to do it.

News and Events (If You Want to Stay Current)

The homepage also surfaces Trending Tech News and Events, which are useful if your goal includes keeping up with Arm platform developments rather than only finding resources. Examples from the page include Python 3.15 improvements for Windows on Arm development, the Arm AI Model Optimizer for faster model optimization, and cloud-native automotive development using digital twins with Google Cloud. Events listed include AGNTCon + MCPCon (October 22–23, 2026, San Jose), an AI virtual session on optimizing AI workloads on Arm (November 4, 2026), and AWS re:Invent 2026 (November 30–December 4, 2026, Las Vegas).

The Arm Developer Program

If you want a personalized dashboard, early access tools, on-demand labs, courses and certifications, badging, and direct access to Arm experts, the Arm Developer Program is the entry point. The homepage describes it as the way to "Build AI at scale on Arm." Join it when you want structured access and expert contact rather than only public resources.
