### An experiment in collective ownership of generative models

What if a community owned a unique 1-of-1 AI image model? And what if that model made $ for it's owners whenever it was used? What would we make and how would it be used? Introducing a new experiment in collective artificial intelligence ownership we're calling MODEL-WIP.

Just a few weeks ago, my team worked with our friends at [Zora](https://zora.co/) to train and create a custom Zorb model. That model was used to create over [60 collections](https://mirror.xyz/dashboard/edit/BN5sS7yuBqE-fK8TmVUABw7303BpOyhFjsIyHYqmOko) using SOURCE and generated over .8 ETH in earnings back for Zora. It got me thinking...

Zorb Model

What if we ran a crowdfund to create and collectively own a unique 1-of-1 image generation model? We're bringing that idea to life and it’s called MODEL-WIP.

### Here's the MODEL-WIP master plan and how to get involved...

1.  **Crowdfund 8 Zora ETH.**
    
    We're crowdfunding using for 8 Zora ETH where anyone can contribute. In exchange for contribution you get access to an exclusive MODEL-WIP owner group and one voting share. Contributions must meet or exceed .03 Zora ETH for a voting share.
    
2.  **Commission an artist to create a body of work.**
    
    Once the crowdfund is complete, we'll source, engage, and decide on an artist to commission. That artist will be paid a portion of the crowdfund to create a unique body of work to train the model on.
    
3.  **Train a model on that body of work + make available in SOURCE.**
    
    Once the model is complete, we'll make it available via SOURCE where anyone will be able to create and publish new collections using the model. MODEL-WIP will earn protocol fees from use of the model. The fees will be sent to the crowdfund contract where they can be withdrawn by contributors on a pro rata basis!

### Sound fun? We think so... The crowdfund is open for contribution.

Make sure to bridge ETH to Zora using either [Zora](https://bridge.zora.energy/) or your wallet like Rainbow. We're capping the crowdfund at 8 ETH so make sure to contribute now before it fills up!
