      Is there something unique about hugging face that the models cannot be hosted elsewhere? I see open source as more important to Nvidia than anyone else because it sells hardware. The services’ motivations are only partially aligned with Nvidia.

        I think it’s mainly just the huge amount of storage. Huggingface has been burning venture capital money for the insane among of storage space they need, afaik

          I’ve never understood why they don’t seed torrents for those huge files. So much money on bandwidth that they just don’t need to spend.

          I don’t see how they could be burning considerable amounts of money on storage, as long as they have setup their own infrastructure and don’t rent it.

          I don’t know how much they’re storing, I guess they’re in the petabyte territory. That’s what, a few tens of millions of dollars of up front investment?

          Not free, but not such a huge amount of money.
