Sounds like there’s a market for a hugging face comeptitor.
Nvidia is seeing the writing on the wall that local models are the only viable future for AI. They have to try and squash that now before it’s too late. I mean, it is already is too late, as they’ve hooked there wagons to these AI companies, and that shit’s going to end and nividia is going to be a bag holder. I can’t wait.

Not necessarily. HuggingFace already lets you run models in their servers. Nvidea might be buying HF so that they can sell cloud-compute to even more people.

or to lock the models behind a paywall… look what’s happened with 3d printing, so many sites now charge for STL files.

From what I’ve seen, the sitse that charge for STLs are priced based on the sculptor, unless you mean something else

Some do, others just charge for everything or charge for something that’s released for free elsewhere… Cults3d and Yeggi are bad for that from recent memory.
