“There’s a widespread misconception that open source models are useful, and having ownership over Hugging Face will help marketing. Nvidia can also create more demand for GPUs.”
“The part that I wonder is that some dude came up an AI model repo site and named it HuggingFace ? Why not ModelHub, LLMHub, AISquare ? Hugging face really? You are going to name after an emoji?”
“If Hugging Face became a natural starting point for AI development and Nvidia became the easiest path from model experimentation to high-performance deployment… Nvidia could strengthen its position across the entire AI lifecycle.”
“Ok, so you think they discovered multiple zero day vulnerabilities (that are all real and have been patched by third parties), created a whole story around it and somehow paid hugging face or whatever to lie about getting hacked?”
“I expect in the end Hugging Face is too valuable and will be consumed by another corporation with no public interest, and once again, the only alternative for sharing large data will ultimately be bittorrent.”
“Hugging Face isn't doing anything that anyone else couldn't do with a bit of start up costs. All the models have been downloaded and in the wild, it could be built again as there is clearly demand. Please don't assume just because a USian business closes that there isn't any other option in the world?”
