The idea is having a marketplace where researchers publish trained models and developers like myself buy the models (for example .pb files in Tensorflow) and use it to solve my client’s problem. I’ve been searching on Google for a few days but there is no such marketplace except free and open-source models.

Commercializing pre-trained models would create new jobs in the machine learning field and speed up the process of applying research results into practice.

For example, the researcher publishes the trained models of forecasting inventory demand, and the developer uses it to develop software for eCommerce websites.

How do you think about the idea?
