Training was orchestrated end-to-end by The Founder — a personal ML agent that handles research, compute scheduling, experiment tracking, and artifact management autonomously using Modal (NVIDIA T4), Weights & Biases, and HuggingFace Hub.

How to Get Started

python

from transformers import pipeline
clf = pipeline("text-classification", model="zanesmit29/founder-distilbert-imdb-v12")
clf("Your input text here")

Uses

Direct Use

This model is suitable for Text Classification tasks in English. It can be used out-of-the-box with the Transformers pipeline API.

Out-of-Scope Use

This model was trained on a specific dataset and may not generalise to all domains or languages. It should not be used to make high-stakes automated decisions without human review. Performance on out-of-distribution data (e.g. non-English text, domain-specific jargon) is not guaranteed.
