I am by no means an expert but I would imagine the answer to this question depends a lot on what you mean by 'a model'. Do you mean 'all of (e.g.) OpenAI's compute over an hour'?

Genuine question: is farming a blue collar job? My (possibly incorrect) image of farming is management of heavily industrialized processes, not of rolling up your sleeves.

I see your point. I think the solution you mention (top 50 trending models) is as good a solution as I could come up with. Maybe the flow should be: Select a GPU / device -> list all the runnable models, sorted by popularity descend

Not trying to be snarky: why do you hate paying a regular fee for regularly updated software? Wouldn't the alternative be upgrade pricing, which is essentially just subscription pricing with extra steps?

Wow, I had no idea they even made 8k 120hz screens, that’s wild.

Inspired by this book, I wrote my bachelor thesis on the emotional experience of bureaucracy. I sent it to Graeber and he actually read it and replied. What a class act. R.I.P.
