TLDR

SemiAnalysis says Nvidia acquired Hugging Face and announced it would continue allowing the platform to be accelerator-agnostic—not tied to one company's AI chips. But SemiAnalysis questions Nvidia's track record on hardware-neutral software and says it is exploring moving some work to alternatives such as ModelScope. It praises ModelScope's user experience while stressing that it loves Hugging Face and hopes its concerns are misplaced.

@SemiAnalysis_Ever since NVIDIA acquired @HuggingFace, we have been looking into migrating some of our work off of HuggingFace and to alternative solutions like ModelScope. Even though NVIDIA's announcement claims they will continue allowing HuggingFace to be accelerator-agnostic, NVIDIA does not have a good track record of developing hardware-agnostic software. We love HuggingFace and hope we are wrong, but at the same time, we are also finding the UX of ModelScope to be great!@ClementDelangueSorry to hear that! As you mentioned, we've been pretty clear on the commitment from NVIDIA to keep us open, neutral and silicon agnostic (cf that screenshot from the 8k filling). But we'll work hard with our actions in the coming years (like we did in the past 10) to show you that and hopefully regain your trust (in case this is not just a ragebait)!
