Just lost $300 on a 'pre-trained' model that couldn't handle my data.
The sales page made it sound perfect for my project, but it was basically useless for anything specific. Has anyone found a good starting point for custom models that doesn't cost a fortune?

What did you expect for that price?

Wow, that's rough, but honestly $300 is nothing in this space. You're paying for the base training work someone else already did, not a magic fix. I actually get where @kelly.daniel is coming from, because expecting a plug-and-play solution for a complex task is a bit optimistic. The real cost is always in the fine-tuning and data prep for your specific case, that's just how it works. A pre-trained model is only ever a starting point, not a finished product.
