Enhanced text-to-image creation with solid API and fine-tuning support
We primarily use Fireworks AI for text-to-image generation. We are developing a platform for artists to sell their art styles, where the system helps them tune a model and then sell images generated from their signature Fireworks AI has helped our organization by enabling us to create a platform…

Versatility empowers AI concept development despite the multi-GPU challenge
Regarding scalability, I'm finding the multi-GPU aspect of it challenging. Training the model is another hurdle, although I'm only getting into that aspect currently. Organizations are apprehensive about investing in multi-GPU setups. Additionally, data cleanup is a challenge that needs to be resolved, as data must be mature and pristine.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Fireworks AI has a solid API and is quite easy to interact with."
"The product is reliable."
"What I find the most valuable about Hugging Face is that I can check all the models on it and see which ones have the best performance without using another platform."
"There are numerous libraries available, and the documentation is rich and step-by-step, helping us understand which model to use in particular conditions."
"The tool's most valuable feature is that it shows trending models. All the new models, even Google's demo models, appear at the top. You can find all the open-source models in one place. You can use them directly and easily find their documentation. It's very simple to find documentation and write code. If you want to work with AI and machine learning, Hugging Face is a perfect place to start."
"The tool's most valuable feature is that it's open-source and has hundreds of packages already available. This makes it quite helpful for creating our LLMs."
"Hugging Face provides open-source models, making it the best open-source and reliable solution."
"The solution is easy to use compared to other frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow."
"It is stable."
 

Cons

"When using the API, it does not return information about the charges for image generation, which would be useful for our solution."
"Regarding scalability, I'm finding the multi-GPU aspect of it challenging. Training the model is another hurdle, although I'm only getting into that aspect currently."
"It can incorporate AI into its services."
"I've worked on three projects using Hugging Face, and only once did we encounter a problem with the code. We had to use another open-source embedding from OpenAI to resolve it. Our team has three members: me, my colleague, and a team leader. We looked at the problem and resolved it."
"Access to the models and datasets could be improved."
"Regarding scalability, I'm finding the multi-GPU aspect of it challenging."
"The solution must provide an efficient LLM."
"Hugging Face could improve by implementing a search engine or chat bot feature similar to ChatGPT."
"Implementing a cloud system to showcase historical data would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is open source."
"Hugging Face is an open-source solution."
"So, it's requires expensive machines to open services or open LLM models."
"I recall seeing a fee of nine dollars, and there's also an enterprise option priced at twenty dollars per month."
"The tool is open-source. The cost depends on what task you're doing. If you're using a large language model with around 12 million parameters, it will cost more. On average, Hugging Face is open source so you can download models to your local machine for free. For deployment, you can use any cloud service."
"We do not have to pay for the product."
