Apply for a GPU community grant: Academic project
Academic project — DPP-4 molecule generator (UAB).
I am Md Delower Hossain, a doctoral researcher (PhD candidate in AI) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), SPARC team, working on computational drug discovery. This Space will host an interactive generator for our fine-tuned MolGemma model (Delower/dpp4-molgemma-finetuned): visitors choose a sample count and temperature and generate candidate DPP-4 inhibitor molecules, with RDKit validation and predicted pIC50 shown for each result. The model, code, tokenizer and validation pipeline are already public.
My account's two free ZeroGPU slots are used by my existing research Spaces (Delower/dpp4-pic50-webapp and Delower/egfr-pic50-webapp, both live), so I am requesting a community grant to host this third, fully open, non-commercial academic demo on ZeroGPU. The model is small (30.5M parameters) but autoregressive — about 7 s per molecule on CPU — so short bursty GPU calls are exactly what it needs. Thank you for considering it.
