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.
I heard somewhere they are buying it because their own development platform sucks. So they are going to replace it with hugging face.
Which doesn't preclude them from locking all the good stuff behind a subscription, of course.
Maybe a dev fee to post
Before any of these news I would use modelscope occasionally, it is the same thing as huggingface but Chinese and with a massive collection of mcp servers. Although they do not have the same amount of merged and fine tuned models, they are still a pretty good service
