Yes, there is a reason. VGG16 is a lightweight model that is very cost-effective to self-host. Initially, as the article mentions, we didn’t have access to large, cost-efficient models (like AWS Titan) capable of generating image embeddings. As a result, we opted for VGG16, which is efficient, delivers good performance, and can run on CPUs with just 4GB of RAM. This makes it ideal for small-scale setups, such as VPS instances costing around €10/month. |
