Crowdfund a small open AI model for your niche and share in usage fees when it's live.
A nurses' community funds a triage-note model. Backers get a share of x402 call revenue and a vote on the next dataset.
When a community's expertise trains an AI, the community funds it, tests it, governs it and shares in it.
Communities with deep shared know-how, like nurses, farmers or court interpreters, are poorly served by general AI tools, and cannot safely paste their work into them. They could fund a small model that fits their niche, but have no simple way to pool money, check the work and share in what it earns.
Fine Tune Fund lets a community pay for an AI model built from its own expertise and share in what the model earns. Whoever runs the fund holds the campaign, the milestone escrow and the x402 endpoint, so owning it makes you the trusted steward rather than a platform taking a cut from outside. The backers, the dataset votes and the revenue record all live under your name and your wallet.
One campaign funded at $5,000 or more and a model endpoint live with first paying callers.
Two applications submitted, at least one to an open source or retro funding round.
Verified contracts, builder profile, first 1,000 paid calls.
One submission with demo and existing code disclosure.
You use the model for a weekly task and log hours saved.
A community meeting where 30 or more people pledge or vote on the first dataset.
One association or builder partnership announced.
Case study published and two references.
Two paid fund setups.
The campaign page, milestone escrow, x402 endpoint and revenue split ship ready. Training is done by a model builder you hire with the escrowed funds, released only when milestones are met. Your job is the community and the stewardship.
That can happen. Keep the first model small and narrow, release funds by milestone, publish evaluations before launch, and be honest with backers that usage revenue is not guaranteed.
Sharing revenue can be treated as a security in some countries. Get local legal advice before launching a revenue share, and consider starting with a donation style campaign plus governance votes only.
The escrow and split contracts deploy from your wallet, your brand runs the campaign, and the community relationship is yours.
Use only data contributors have rights to and consent for, strip personal details, and publish your data policy before raising a single dollar.
