Best Free Tools for AI Research

Don’t overlook GitHub repos. Many researchers share their code with detailed instructions. It’s a treasure trove of free tools!

Also, don’t forget about scikit-learn. It’s not deep learning, but for lots of AI tasks, it’s free and does the job great.

By the way, you can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools. Found some gems there recently!

If ur into natural language processing, Hugging Face offers a lot of free models and datasets. Their transformers library is really popular.

Honestly, I started with Google Colab. It's free and super easy for running notebooks without any setup. Plus, you get GPUs for small experiments.

PyTorch and TensorFlow both have free versions and tons of tutorials. Not tools per se, but essential for any AI research IMO.

One thing I like is the free resources on fast.ai. Their courses and libraries are both beginner-friendly and powerful.

For data visualization, TensorBoard is free and super helpful to understand your model’s training progress.

You might wanna look at OpenAI’s free API tier if you want to experiment with their models without paying immediately.

Check out Weights & Biases for tracking experiments. They have a free tier that’s surprisingly generous.

Have you tried Kaggle? They host datasets and have free compute kernels too. Great place to practice with real data.
