NVIDIA has agreed to acquire Hugging Face. Together, we will scale Hugging Face’s platform, strengthen its infrastructure and expand access to AI for developers and institutions worldwide.
I hate this garbage as a whole, but local offline models are the lesser of two evils for sure (there are still massive ethical issues with how they’re “trained” in the first place and the detrimental effects of using any of this junk but that’s another conversation). It’s pretty obvious that nvidia’s just trying to kill off this entire option and force people onto subscriptions or through their own services littered with invasive tracking and whatever the fuck.
All the big models are trained on vast datasets that include copyrighted material and so on.
But localized finetunes almost all are trained on curated data from other models. IE, you plug in a fancy prompt into another, smarter model to generate a ton of content you then use to train the LORA for the smaller model. Then you merge that LORA into the smaller model. In a way, they are stealing from thieves to get their finetunes, in addition to abliteration (decensoring).
