Right now it's a small team of 6 people, and we have a bit of funding + compute credits to train models. There's a bit of revenue from some past projects and AI-consulting, but we're mostly betting big on our new AI-powerd mobile title Arrowmancer[1].

Haha for sure. Hosting a real-time ML model for people to do sub 1-second inferences at HN-load scale is definitely nontrivial.

That seems like a nice project that you're working on, definitely more high effort than some other attempts at generated art (procedurally or otherwise).

I can't help but to feel that this would be a better fit for the fad of NFTs as well, as opposed to ugly monkeys or other asset flips that were pretty obvious cash grabs.

Either way, good luck!

I'm guessing your referring to the "one of a kind" part of NFTs, which made me wonder, how would they validate that the created Waifu hasn't been created before?

The question is, would people buy, since there are near endless, and a huge difference is that these don't have a story attached to them...

Waifulabs is certainly a good marketing instrument for Arrowmancer. And regardless of whether the game gains traction it will be a great showcase in case you ever want to offer this as an API for other mobile game creators.
