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 🙏
