Why on earth would they distribute this without a trained model? Several weeks of training time on a multi-thousand dollar piece of specialized hardware are required to actually run this.
Google clearly has many different trained versions of this network sitting around. It must have been a conscious decision not to release them. Is the point to artificially create a barrier to entry for hobbyists that might want to apply this research? If so, why bother releasing it at all? I'm really scratching my head here.
