About ModelScope
ModelScope is an open model community backed by Alibaba. It hosts AI models, datasets and demos, and it provides a Python library for working with them.
What it does
ModelScope works as a hub. Users browse models by task, such as text generation, speech recognition, visual classification or image description, and open each model page for details. Datasets sit in the same place, and studios let visitors try demos in the browser. The ModelScope Library is a Python package for running inference, fine-tuning and evaluating models.
Key features
- Browse open models by task and domain
- Datasets hosted alongside the models
- Online studios for trying model demos
- Python library for inference, fine-tuning and evaluation
- Source code under Apache-2.0 on GitHub
Who it's for
Machine learning engineers and researchers who want access to a wide range of open models. Students and hobbyists who want to try models without building their own pipeline will also find it useful.
Pricing and good to know
The library and the project code are open source under the Apache-2.0 licence. Parts of the site are in Chinese, so some pages and documentation may need translation. Some hosted services on the platform may have their own usage limits.
