I'm interested in solving problems you mention in this space. For the sake of simplicity, I will also agree that the data and the models are free if you know how and where to look. The problem is what then? Who has the money and/or compute capacity to do the work at a scale that can compete with the industry behemoths?

I've been slowly building out a home lab to test mesh computing in this space. Perhaps there is a way to carve the workloads into chunks that can be deployed to a distributed mesh of trusted nodes that have a hardware specs suitable for the task. Then somehow aggregated the results and distributes the entire package back to the network of contributors of that compute capacity. In other words, I will agree to lend you my compute capacity in exchange for a copy of the model you are training. I'd love to collaborate with folks and grow this idea and get a legit open source project going.

Let's build the "Constellation". If anyone wants to geek out and make this happen i'd love to chat. art.aquino at compute dot tech

Building compute clusters and cool software is a passion of mine. So i'm looking to build a network of like minded folks without any commitment and just to help each other.
