Subject: Grant Request: “Pipeline Builder” — Open, No-Key API + Code Export (Persistent Storage + GPU)
Dear Hugging Face Team,
I’m requesting Persistent Storage + GPU (T4) for “Pipeline Builder for Non-Coders” — a production-ready, open-source platform that lets users:
- 🧩 Visually build AI pipelines (e.g., Summarization → Translation → TTS)
- 🧪 Test live in browser
- 💾 Save pipelines → get unique ID → reuse/share
- 🌐 Call via public, no-key API endpoint (anyone can POST)
- 🐍 Export as clean Python/cURL/JS code → run anywhere
🔍 Why this fits HF’s mission:
- ✅ 100% inference-only — no training, no fine-tuning, no weights saved
- ✅ Persistent Storage needed — to save user pipelines (JSON files) between sessions
- ✅ GPU (T4) needed — to serve multiple concurrent users with low latency
- ✅ Open API — no keys, no auth, no paywalls → truly open-source
- ✅ Code export — promotes reuse, education, extension → MIT licensed
- ✅ Ecosystem builder — uses/promotes HF models + datasets
- ✅ Production-ready — not a demo — built for real-world use
🚀 What the grant enables:
- Persistent Storage: Save 1000s of user pipelines → shareable via ID
- GPU (T4): Serve 5–10 concurrent users → sub-5s latency → usable in production
🌍 Impact:
This isn’t just a tool — it’s open infrastructure:
- Startups embed our API
- Students export code for homework
- Developers prototype pipelines in minutes
- Researchers share reproducible workflows
All with no barriers — no login, no keys, no paywalls.
I’ll proudly showcase HF’s role in making AI pipelines accessible to everyone — with no barriers.
Thank you for your consideration 🙏
