# Open Model Initiative - Data Pipeline

Welcome to the Open Model Initiative Data Pipeline repository!

This project aims to provide open-source, community-driven training pipelines and code for developing baseline AI models for image generation. Other modalities may be released in future updates, whether in this repo or others.

About the Project#

The Open Model Initiative Data Pipeline is a collaborative effort to create and maintain high-quality, openly licensed baseline AI models, and provide tooling to maintain and curate datasets for large training projects. Our goal is to empower individuals and organizations to leverage and build upon these models for their own solutions, and to allow creatives the capacity to utilize these emerging tools for their own creative pursuits.

Key goals:#

  • Effective captioning management and curation tools for large datasets

  • Standardized metadata format for utilizing datasets across applications

  • Comprehensive documentation and examples
