What this actually is

You review AI-generated code, rank model outputs against each other, write prompts that test edge cases, and provide expert feedback that gets used to train coding models. Not shipping production software. The platform title (Open Source GitHub Maintainer) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.

Is micro1 legit? Our review

A real US company that pays experts in USD through Deel twice a month. The hard part is getting from the Zara AI interview to paid work. Pay, who can join, and how Korean visa and tax rules apply.
