hello world
yes, unfortunately, this note is exactly the one that sometimes shows up on websites of tiny startups - we at coldpress.ai have decided to wind down operations
after more than two years, with hundreds of dedicated users, thousands of datasets, and millions of bytes for ml training runs served, we were unable to find a strong and long-term product market fit that we know the core idea deserves. if you're reading this and feeling bad that you couldn't source data from us in time, that's okay! we'd be more than happy to redirect you to some of our peers who will be able to help you out - the training must go on, of course.
it is not lost on us that as the largest library of open source computer vision datasets on the internet, we were a valuable resource for the community. we are happy and proud to say that we are still working to put our open datasets back up (in a more $-sustainable way this time), and you can expect to see them back here soon.
in fact, not just our open datasets - coldpress.ai is working to release some of the best dataset analysis and validation tools that we built and used in-house. we have always been strong believers in open source, and this was always the plan in case of an abrupt demise.
let's talk some cheese - it was a dream come true to build machine learning infrastructure in this incredible age of ai. the high highs and low lows will always stay with us, both working together to prepare us for all that's to come next. and there is so, so much more to come next. what a time it is to be alive.
hi-ho silver, away!
