They should put up a back up torrent of all the currently available models before transferring ownership. Thus opening the doors for future websites.
NVIDIA is probably trying to shutdown the LLM-at-home market (which means you don’t need huge clouds of graphics cards or even an Internet connection). Sad day for people who like to control their data.
Replying to @DarkCloud@lemmy.world
Nvidia also sells super expensive graphics cards. They probably want you to buy a couple of 5090s or a Spark.
They know they can’t shut down the entire self hosted LLM market but they can direct it towards using Nvidia GPUs by making sure llama.cpp devs don’t spend much time on ROCm support, etc. And they probably know that ClosedAI and Anthropic’s days on the frontier are limited.
