Running large AI models requires expensive hardware with high VRAM capacity. Build optimization tools that reduce VRAM usage while maintaining model performance, enabling researchers to run advanced models on consumer GPUs. AI researchers and small labs would pay for affordable access to cutting-edge models. Start with a Python library that implements common optimization techniques. The biggest risk is competition from established AI frameworks.
