Overview

The Minibase Marketplace is where users can share and discover models and datasets. You can upload your own work for others to use, or browse the marketplace to find resources you can add directly to your workspace. Each listing includes useful details like model size, number of parameters, file sizes, and download counts, making it easy to find what fits your needs.

How to Use

Step 1: Browse models and datasets

  • The marketplace has two tabs:

    • Models: view available models with parameter counts, sizes, and user-provided descriptions.

    • Datasets: view datasets with file sizes, number of examples, and download counts.

  • Use the search bar to find what you need. More filters (like size or compatible devices) are coming soon.

Step 2: Review details

  • For models: see parameter counts, model size, number of downloads, and descriptions provided by the uploader.

  • For datasets: see file size, number of examples, number of downloads, and the dataset’s description.

Step 3: Add to your workspace

  • Click the big yellow button on any model or dataset to add it to your workspace.

  • Once added, you can:

    • Use a dataset to train new models.

    • Deploy shared models directly with Minibase Cloud (via API calls).

    • Or download them to run locally on your own machine.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Check descriptions carefully: They provide context on how the model or dataset was created and intended to be used.

  • Look at download counts: Popular models and datasets may be more tried-and-tested.

  • Use Marketplace resources for faster prototyping: Instead of starting from scratch, clone a dataset or model as a baseline.

  • Contribute back: Upload your own datasets or models to help others in the community.

Troubleshooting

I don’t see the model or dataset in my workspace after adding.

Try refreshing your workspace page. If it still doesn’t appear, reach out to us at [email protected].

The search isn’t finding what I need.

Search only scans titles and descriptions. Try broader keywords, or check back later as the marketplace continues to grow.

Can I filter by size or device compatibility?

Not yet. Filters by size, compatible device, and other properties will be added in future updates.
