I had a similar idea for something like hugging face in 2016. (I feel so stupid I didn't execute) My business model was that people with great models trained on proprietary data sets would buy & sell trained weights and fine tuned models for private use. Here is an example. No e-commerce business is going to easily publish their sales data for everyone to train so they can build a great model for optimizing recommendations of products. Hiring an internal AI team may have 2 problems. - It may cost too much - May not work as well - You may not have the appropriate data set or data size (DL is very data intensive). For a small fraction of what it may cost to hire your own team. You may buy a fine tuned models or readily trained weights that you just "plug & play". That sounds like reasonable model. The client (e-commerce) saves money, time, is guaranteed success, and gets the bonus productivity output from AI integration. What do you guys think? Tarpit idea? If I owned hugging face, I would follow such a strategy.
