I know huggingface. I don’t know of anything they sell, though.

Neither does github

I’ve worked at plenty of places with github enterprise subscriptions. They definitely sell things, you’re just not the consumer they care about.

seconded, they charge $21/month/seat if you’re using the pro features; that’s $50k a year even for a smallish team of 20, just to use their website. Once you get to a bigger company with 800 seats, that’s $1M over 5 years, for something that was mostly built on free OSS software to begin with.
Not to mention the biggest bait-and-switch in history that they pulled off on Github Copilot subscriptions, that I’m guessing a lot of big orgs won’t have cancelled yet. They really are laughing all the way to the bank.

20*21*12 is more than 50k?
