Will 'AIs' be collected as some people collect books or vintage electronics?

'They have one of the best first wave AI collections'.

'What's the provenance? This AI was first own by X and was later part of Y's collection, one the best institutional collections in Asia'.

Could these be plausible statements in a near future?

How about an AI 'zoo'? Thank you.

No not really. "AIs" today are entirely digital LLMs that can be copied, shared and redistributed for a marginal fee already. "Collecting" AI would make absolutely no sense, especially since most of the AIs worth collecting cannot be used for commercial/museum-fee purposes. The only such thing that will exist in the future are the people that digitally archive today's model files.

Music can be copied, shared and redistributed for a marginal fee. Text even more. Nevertheless, you have record and book collectors. What's the difference?

I collect them using ollama. My favorite go to is nous-hermes2-mixtral, though others have things to say. They're all distinctive (phi3, llama3, wizardly, etc.) and can be a riot with the right prompts.

I think it'll be easier to keep specifications of inputs and methods to rebuild models if need be.
