FairAI: The importance of Curators and their role in our marketplace
Curators play an essential role in our marketplace as they are the developers who gather open-source AI models and use them to create AI solutions.
In today's article, we will explore their role, how they are incentivized to build AI solutions, and the resulting opportunities.
FairAI is a decentralized marketplace for open-source AI solutions. AI creators can upload their models, anyone can provide computation for those models, and companies can access high-quality AI without bearing the infrastructure costs.
But where do Curators come in?
Curators are the bridge between existing open-source AI models and users/companies seeking to leverage these models for AI solutions that address their needs.
Open-source AI models offer numerous possibilities on their own. However, they can provide even greater advantages when used as the foundation for developing solutions.
The primary focus of AI creators is to create new models or enhance existing ones. Consequently, there is an opportunity for developers with the necessary technical skills to build these solutions.
Why is this important?
Companies want to use AI solutions that use open-source AI models. They want transparent solutions that allow them to control what they are using. Furthermore, they want to avoid bearing infrastructure costs to run those solutions.
This means developers can aggregate open-source models to build workflows that companies request. For example, a solution could combine multiple AI models to tackle a specific challenge for a company.
Another example could be a user looking to access an AI model for anime but doesn't know much about prompt engineering. In this case, a curator can create a solution that converts the user's input into a suitable prompt and applies it to the best anime model for that input.
How are they incentivized to build AI solutions?
Curators can build AI solutions, deploy them to FairAI, and get revenue each time that solution is used.
After building one solution, they can focus on creating new ones, as the network of operators will provide all the computation.
