Apply for community grant: Academic project (storage)

Hallo Huggingface folks - I'm creating an academic project that uses LLMs to answer astronomy questions. this is part of a summer workshop at JHU to evaluate the effectiveness of these models in enabling scientific research, and we would like to now demo this to the larger community. I was hoping that this is of interest to HF community and that we could get a grant with more RAM and persistent storage. If you need more information let me know!

Hi @kiyer , we've assigned cpu-upgrade to this Space for more RAM.
As for the persistent storage, we can assign it as a grant, but we need to delete the current one first to do so. Is it OK to delete it? (Unfortunately, it's just not possible to give a grant to an existing storage due to the UI limitation of the Hub. The issue was raised quite a long ago internally, but the priority is low and not resolved as of now.)
BTW, I'm not sure if you've checked the docs about the persistent storage, but Spaces have 50 GB of non-persistent storage by default. Also, the persistent storage is mounted on /data and it's not that the volume of /home is increased. Looking at the code, I don't find /data in it, and I wonder if your Space is using the persistent storage. If your Space actually doesn't need the persistent storage, maybe you can just delete it.

Hi @hysts - thanks for the cpu-upgrade, it runs much more smoothly now. i've also refactored the code a bit to be faster. I think you're right about the persistent storage - we don't need it right now, but might need it once we start updating our corpus on a regular basis, in which case i might reach out again. Thank you!
