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.
We need to get models into a distributed distribution. Huggingface is way too central.
It feels like one of those technologies that can't truly be contained. It's like how the government keeps trying to end piracy. It's like a ~~hydration~~ hydra. Cut off one head and two more show up. Local models will be the dagger to premiere models.
Damn hydration. Always growing too many heads.
Hail hydration
yeah fully agree. They may go more underground, thinking if govs try to block them, but they'll still be there.
There will be a new generation that learns about VPNs and torrents. Life is cyclical.
