How to Make Your AI Model Accessible to Other Researchers

By Nalvera Team · 3 November 2026

Developing and validating a medical imaging AI model requires substantial data, expertise, and computing resources. Its scientific impact depends on use by other researchers, which involves two steps: publication and adoption.

Publication

Publication makes your work citable and open to scrutiny. With the paper, code, and weights available on a site such as GitHub or Hugging Face, others can reproduce your results and build on them. Anyone applying the model must then install and run it themselves.

Adoption

Adoption is often the harder step. Not every researcher has the technical experience to install a model or the infrastructure to run it. A desktop extension, such as one for 3D Slicer, brings your model to users of that software, who often still need their own GPU. A hosted platform such as Nalvera.AI removes both barriers.

How Does This Help Citations and Adoption?

Researchers who could not install your model can now run it, and they get more out of its results. In Study Design, they turn those results into measurements, follow them over time, and compare patient groups, with no post-processing code to write. Your model becomes part of a complete study workflow.

Every model page names the authors, links the paper and the code, and asks users to cite the model's own paper, so wider use can lead to more citations and research income.

What Is the Nalvera.AI Partner Program?

The partner program adds your model to the Nalvera.AI catalog. We handle hosting, GPUs, user access, and billing, and researchers run your model in their browser. We can also host it privately, so only users you approve can run it.

Are There Minimum Requirements?

Yes, the method should be published and open to peer review (a journal paper or arXiv), built on a multi-institutional dataset, and developed with scientific rigour.

Can I Earn Money From My Model?

Yes. Every AI task has a fixed processing fee. On a partner model, that fee is split with you: you earn an agreed amount in euros for each completed AI task in your partnership program. Multiple models are possible, and all your earnings are summed in one balance.

Can I Still Make My Model Available Elsewhere?

Yes. You keep your rights and stay free to make your model available anywhere else, including GitHub, Hugging Face, and your own website. Nalvera.AI aims to widen the adoption of your model, and your name stays on it.

You are invited to link to Nalvera.AI as a partner on your GitHub or Hugging Face page, as this can benefit both partners. This is optional, but much appreciated.

How Do I Track Earnings and Request Payouts?

Partners can use their regular user account, and get access to a dedicated Partner Console when logged in:

  • Earnings: your balance, lifetime earnings, and a monthly chart.
  • Payouts: request a payout once your balance reaches €50. Payment follows within a few business days.
