You can disable tracking like the following:

# set 
export DO_NOT_TRACK="1"
# infinity specific setting
export INFINITY_ANONYMOUS_USAGE_STATS="0"

Is similar to e.g. how other projects collect stats:

• https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/serving/usage_stats.html#usage-stats-collection
• https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/cluster/usage-stats.html
• https://github.com/langflow-ai/langflow/blob/eedfe43e6983bfed3c9a15e197c0206ea21b14eb/docs/docs/Contributing/contributing-telemetry.md?plain=1#L25

Infinity collects currently info on which:

• GPU card is used, helps to know if e.g. flash-attn build would be useful / worth the effort, or not worth it because most card are still
• devices: is mps or neuron used often
• CLI args, to deprecate old ones or less popular ones such as onnx/tensorrt gpu + optimum or ctranslate2
