The Backstory
AIModels.fyi was founded by Mike Young in 2023, leveraging his extensive 10-year experience in building digital products across various industries. Young's vision for AIModels.fyi is clear: to cut through the noise, hype, and exaggeration surrounding AI.
He intends to provide users, who often find themselves overwhelmed with decision-making, with clear and tailored answers to their specific problems. In a market flooded with numerous AI tools and options, Young emphasizes the need for clarity.
He aims to optimize users' attention by helping them find solutions that truly address their problems, ruling out models that don't meet their objectives, and guiding them on where to focus their attention. Young believes that enabling users to concentrate on the most relevant and impactful solutions will deliver a valuable service to the AI community.Â
AIModels.fyi’s Tech Stack
AIModels.fyi's tech setup is centered around JavaScript, utilizing Node.js for the backend. The website is built on Next.js framework for that smooth user experience. And of course, AI plays a key role too! OpenAI's embedding tool and Quad 3 are its go-to for enhancing functionality.
As the website evolves, new features are integrated. GPT-4IN contributes to the codebase, complementing the development efforts. Standard tools like Substack and Google Analytics are employed for managing the mailing list and monitoring website performance.
Now, let's rewind to how it all began. The founder first needed a simple way to run AI models via API. Enter Replicate. But sifting through all those models was a challenge. So, he started with a simple spreadsheet. Over time, the platform expanded to index models from various sources, including Hugging Face and Cerebrum. He then took things up a notch and added a semantic search feature on top of it all. This made it super easy for folks to dig into all that data and find exactly what they needed. Fast forward to today, and AIModels.fyi has over a quarter million models in its database and is still growing. Talk about progress!
Integrating User Feedback to Move ForwardÂ
Incorporating user feedback is a top priority for the team behind AIModels.fyi. Mike Young has a group of friends who act as his trusty advisors. They provide feedback on various aspects and suggest product ideas through regular discussions on Discord.
But it doesn't stop there—user feedback from the wider community is also highly valued. Through emails, social media interactions, and direct engagement, the team gathers feedback on ways to improve the website's usability and user experience.
One standout piece of feedback was the suggestion to simplify the user interface and reduce barriers to entry. Inspired by this idea, the founder implemented a ChatGPT-like feature, allowing users to ask questions and receive answers seamlessly.
Here's another example of user feedback that transformed AIModels.fyi: Initially, Young developed a complex comparison tool based on user suggestions. Yet, after analyzing usage data, he realized it wasn't being used. So, he made the tough decision to remove it, freeing up space for more impactful features. Lesson learned: simplicity and user feedback are key to success.
Additionally, Young uses Microsoft Clarity, a free tool allowing him to watch user sessions and develop heatmaps. It helps identify pain points and areas for improvement, helping the founder turn off features that don’t matter to users and build out those that matter most.
By leveraging both direct feedback and data analytics, AIModels.fyi continues to evolve into a platform that meets the needs and preferences of its users, making it easier than ever to discover the right AI models for your unique needs.
