AI Developers: What Do You Need in an AI Model Marketplace?

Hey Devs,

I’ve been working on a project related to AI models and their accessibility, and I wanted to reach out to get some insights from the people who use them the most—developers like you.

I know that there are plenty of ways to find, fine-tune, and deploy AI models today, but I also know that it’s not always the smoothest process. So, I wanted to ask:

What’s the most frustrating part of working with AI models?

Do you prefer pre-trained models, or do you always fine-tune them?

How do you usually deploy models? Do you use cloud services, on-device solutions, or something else?

If there was a way to simplify AI model selection and integration, what would that look like for you?

Have you noticed specific gaps in existing AI marketplaces or model repositories?

I’m trying to understand what’s useful for AI devs rather than making assumptions. Your feedback would be super valuable in shaping something that’s actually practical. Feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments!
