This seems neat, not sure if it can deliver, or do everything it claims, but the value itโ€™s aiming for is interesting and rabbit holes me enough to take interest.

HFAI (Magic Square Firefly) is pitching a large-scale distributed deep learning platform that gives researchers direct access to compute, scheduling, and model training at scale. The core idea? Instead of relying on pre-trained models or closed APIs, HFAI lets you own your training process, from raw data to multi-node distributed execution.

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž:
โœ… Custom AI model training on a dedicated infrastructure
โœ… Task-level scheduling for efficient resource sharing
โœ… Direct control over data, training logic, and execution

Itโ€™s a different play than OpenAI or DeepSeek, which focus on delivering models as a service. HFAI is aiming for the infrastructure-level advantage, if it works as advertised, that could be powerful for enterprise AI and research teams looking to push beyond black-box solutions.

Still, the question remains, ๐‚๐š๐ง ๐ข๐ญ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐œ๐š๐ฅ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ž ๐ค๐ž๐ž๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ก๐š๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ? If it delivers, it might offer a compelling alternative to hosted AI models, or open the doors to a whole new generation of creative alternatives.
