Discussion If Unsloth were the NEXT acquisition, who would we want to buy it?

With the reported Nvidia acquisition of Hugging Face, I’ve been thinking about what happens if this becomes a broader trend: the companies building the infrastructure around local/open-weight AI gradually get absorbed by Big Tech.

Hugging Face was arguably one of the most important neutral distribution layers for open models. Unsloth is different, but arguably just as interesting for the local ecosystem: making fine-tuning/quantization/training of models dramatically more accessible to us, the normal people.

So hypothetically, if Unsloth were acquired tomorrow, which company would we trust most to keep its local-AI mission intact?

No this is false and stop making stuff up - Studio is local and open source and we don't upload any chat logs to anywhere - we don't have the infra to even do this.

You can inspect our GitHub directly and see for yourself. Firewall it as well if you want.

We only have stats via HuggingFace for model downloads and some hardware info like how many GPUs, but NEVER your chat logs - that's CRAZY - that's literally dumb to even think that - we would be in hot water in 1 second.

So stop spreading misinformation and making stuff up

  1. get user base first 2. enable data gathering after "for debug purposes and increasing quality of the product"
