#32Patrick, it’s really hard to tell if you're serious or legitimate from this made-in-Lovable-in-5-minutes site. If you are serious, I recommend that you ask the admins (hn@ycombinator.com) to delete this post, then spend at least half an hour thinking about a better name, and what readers might need to know before you (1) create a more substantive landing page and (2) re-announce. That would at least give you a chance…
I am building the backend full time for this, I'm serious about it and see it as one of the biggest issues in the ecosystem today. I'm looking to gauge interest in the concept to hopefully raise more to implement it faster. What exactly is wrong about it? I spent a fair amount of time on it and just saying "its bad" isn't really helpful feedback.

#33Could there be a way to do this without $$$, but rather by providing compute? Similar to folding@home? A hundred thousand people can participate in training.
Re: Llama Fund: Crowdfund AI Models
#34Good idea. Doesn’t japan consider training fair use? Maybe take a look at incorporating there.
Re: Llama Fund: Crowdfund AI Models
#35Is this a viable target for crowdfunding? How much money can you really expect to get via this route vs how much is it gonna take to get something useful out of it?
(Genuine questions, seeing this made me realize I don't even have a ballpark idea.)

#36Why the hell would you use that name?
Agreed. This is too meta-aligned to not end up in some legal spat later on when money goes through it.

#37I’m just going to add my color to this since this seems to be devoid of any but the red sun.
I like the idea of crowdfunding models. Absolutely. Yes. However, I want to see how that translates to progress. I’m ok even if the model fails at a catastrophic level, but I want to see the progress towards that end for every dollar sourced.
The training logs, the assumptions, the cloud spend, the markers, and the fit to the end goal.
Do that, and you’ll have something.

I'll take a stab at providing some specifics: - the black text on fog gray background gradient is... not great looking. - What's with the seemingly arbitrary floating red sun? - the name Llama.fund is a bit odd given this is for general LLM models. Thematically it just feels all over the place.
I figured the red sun was the red eye of HAL 9000.

#39The tone of these comments is unnecessarily negative.
Nice job taking a go at something you feel is important.
