#32I'm glad you guys are sharing some money around, but I really have a hard time thinking of a person with "Dual 4090s" as "GPU Poor". LOL

#33ehartford and thebloke are definitely great picks advancing SOTA in underserved fields.
Curious why there are no image ai projects receiving grants here?

#34Very happy to see oobabooga on the list. Everyone's contributing in different ways, and ooba serves as a fantastic portal to try out various models which I appreciate. Its readme even says it wants to be like the automatic 1111 of text generation. For beginners like me who are curious about this new world, ooba is a great entry point.
We agree!!

It's all relative. Compared to the huge companies spending thousands per month/week/day on GPU usage, having two 4090s (which you could acquire for like ~$3000) could be considered on the lower end for sure.

No deeper reason. I think there just a lot in LLMs happening right now which skewed it towards them. We would love to do something in the SD ecosystem.
