Been thinking about this all week and I keep landing on the same uncomfortable place. Hugging Face is where you go when you want AI without strings attached. Open weights, no vendor, no lock-in. That was kind of the whole point. NVIDIA reportedly just agreed to buy it for $12.9 billion. The company that manufactures the chips that run every major AI system now owns the platform where developers go to escape depending on any single company. I'm not saying NVIDIA will do something bad with it. Their track record with developer communities is actually pretty decent. But the architecture of the open source AI ecosystem just changed and most people haven't registered it yet. Meanwhile ChatGPT launched ads across 31 European countries last Sunday. Free and Go tier only, paid users are untouched.
