You may know fast.ai as a popular deep learning course. There is also a deep learning library with the same name (https://github.com/fastai/fastai) as well as software development tools like nbdev (https://nbdev.fast.ai/).

fast.ai has been offering education and tools for free for over 7 years, and has been approached by many companies asking for help. This program offers an avenue for business to get relevant professional services and support.

Huh, my company would be a good candidate for a community like this. Unfortunately, I took the fast.ai "live" course through one of the SF universities. It was a very expensive beta test of the free course and the instructors were completely inaccessible (e.g. if your question got enough upvotes it might get answered). It was not what I expected from a university course. It really felt like they tried to automate so much and I'm afraid that this community would be the same.
