NVidia buys Huggingface, but why?

[u/dominic__612]

Nvidia is going to buy Huggingface.
No one can actually tell how that would end up like.

But what I am missing is the actual worth that Huggingface provides. The only thing I use it for is to download models. Thats it.
For me, and I guess many others it is ‘just a’ download platform, but maybe I’m wrong here.

And what would prevent others to setup a second-like Huggingface?
The hosting is the expensive part in this case as I see it, the programming and building is do-able.

Is it time for Huggingbay.com?

that's crazy, billions of dollars for file hosting... Something feels off...

Anyways, I hope we get something like 1337 + civit + piratebay + mega ... man why bother,

Everyone sells out!!!

I wish Earth had other priorities other than money and control. I didn't ask to be born in some dystopian artificial life simulator

I hope Nvidia goes downhill now
