Your project looks so interesting. Have u thught of putting the experts on a distributed market where their expertise and work can be exchanged for some token (obvlsy using a blockchain).

This would encourage people to host experts in your network and would create value.

Thank you! This is definitely something we should look into in the future (hopefully with community help); as of now, training infrastructure and model convergence are the highest priorities. That said, we welcome all ideas of ways to motivate more volunteers to join the experiments, because Learning@home team comes from a distributed DL background with limited volunteer computing expertise.

Also, I believe that for some projects (e.g. GPT-3 replication effort) people would want to join the network regardless of the incentive mechanism, as demonstrated by Leela Chess Zero [1].
