There are already ways to get around this. For example, renting compute from people who aren't in datacenters. Which is already a thing: https://vast.ai. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

By "SETI" I assume you mean the SETI@Home distributed computing project. There's a two-way market where you can rent out your GPU here: https://vast.ai/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

Have you considered running on a cloud machine instead? You can rent machines on https://vast.ai/ for under $1 an hour that should work for small/medium models (I've mostly been playing with stable diffusion so I don't know what you'd need for an LLM off hand). Good GPUs and Apple hardware is pricey. Get a bit of automation setup with some cloud storage (e.g backblaze B2) and you can have a machine ready to run... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

I have heard vast.ai is cheap but I haven't tried it out. https://websiteinvesting.com/reviews/vast-ai-review/. Source: 7 months ago

Another annotation tool that integrates prediction and training within the application is supervisely supervisely.com., unfortunately it's pretty expensive unless you are satisfied with the community version. I saw that they have an integration for owl-vit, which might be helpful for annotation of animals. https://ecosystem.supervisely.com/apps/serve-owl-vit. Source: about 1 year ago

Hello world. This tutorial is a gentle introduction to building modern text recognition system using deep learning in 15 minutes. It will teach you the main ideas of how to use Keras and Supervisely for this problem. This guide is for anyone who is interested in using Deep Learning for text recognition in images but has no idea where to start. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

If they were videos, I would have suggested trying supervise.ly as it has a very good tracking functionality. Source: almost 2 years ago

Hi, I'm exactly in the same boat like you are. I looked around for a while and the better solutions I found was supervise.ly and CVAT for video annotation. The pricetag on supervisely is pretty high, so I analyzed CVAT for a couple days and was positively surprised. Source: almost 2 years ago

Under the WPI Photo Ambum section of the page for FRC field photos (https://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/frc/playing-field#WPIPhotos), they have a section of machine learning imagery. However, this link goes to supervise.ly, the website they use for machine learning. I created an account to attempt to download the images, however, whenever I try to 'clone' the project, it stalls at 0% and gives me an error... Source: about 2 years ago
