Apply for community grant: Company project
(Note: I previously sent a similar email regarding another Space, but have now moved to the present one. I am only requesting a grant for a single space.)
Hi, my name is Garrett Goon and I am an Applied Machine Learning Engineer at Determined AI. I am writing a blog post about how to run Textual Inversion using Hugging Face's Diffusers in conjunction with our platform. The code will also be included as an official example.
It would be great to be able to have an interactive demo of the results from Textual Inversion in the blog post. In particular, it would be a great showcase for Diffusers and Spaces, as well as for Determined AI. But in order for the Spaces demo to really be compelling, a GPU is required.
Looking forward to hearing back from you! Some example images from the soon-to-appear blog post are attached.
Best,
Garrett
Hey there! This project looks very cool, and I'm looking forward to seeing the blog post! The demo is cool by the way, looking forward to it!
Hey Omar, thanks for the kind words!
Do you think we could get a GPU grant in order to embed the Space into the blog post, then? Or do you know the timeline for how those decisions are made? Think it would be really awesome to have!
Best,
Garrett
Hey there! Usually, we provide temporary grants that are usually removed once the usage goes down. Is that something that would work for you?
Otherwise, the current setup with the T4 you billed yourself should be enough for embedding the Space in a blog post. Let me know what you would prefer :)
Best,
Omar
Hey Omar, yeah a temporary grant would be awesome! Right now I'm just paying for the Space out of my own pocket to test it out (hadn't used Space before; they're great).
Best,
Garrett
Awesome, the T4 is being assigned now. You'll also need to do some changes to make sure you're using the GPU. https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/spaces-gpus#pytorch-installation
Awesome! This is great, very excited for it. The blog post should go up early next week; will send it when posted.
Best,
Garrett
Hey Omar,
Just an FYI that I'm expecting the blog to be up early next week now.
Some example images are below, if interested.

Hey there! Awesome to hear! I think the link above is broken
Oops, yep, posted the locally served link. Here it is
Best,

Hi Omar, if I transfer this Space to determined-ai will that affect the GPU grant?
I think so. Feel free to translate it and I can reassign the grant for a couple of days :)
Cool, thanks, just transfered.
