I'm interested. Are your models open sourced like the IBM model, and are they easily accessible on HuggingFace?

They are open sourced (code and weights) [0], but not accessible on HuggingFace.

You might want to think about adding them to HuggingFace, and making them HuggingFace API compliant to lower the barrier to entry.

The IBM offering is appealing not because it is "first" or the "best", but because it is accessible. A lot of institutions / enterprises (including my own) are able to leverage transformer models because HF has done so much to lower the barrier to entry with their hub, documentation (model cards) and API.

How else would I have found your models but for an IBM press release?
