SemiAnalysis says it is exploring ModelScope after what it describes as Nvidia's acquisition of Hugging Face. It questions Nvidia's track record with hardware-agnostic software; another user says ModelScope barely works outside China.
TLDR
In September 2026, SemiAnalysis said it was considering moving some work from Hugging Face to ModelScope after what it described as Nvidia's acquisition of Hugging Face. It said Nvidia had claimed it would keep Hugging Face accelerator-agnostic, but questioned the company's track record with hardware-agnostic software and praised ModelScope's user experience. Another user argued that ModelScope barely works outside China and has few of the models people want to use.
