Honestly I’m shocked to be the only one I see of this opinion:
HuggingFace’s `accelerate`, `transformers` and `datasets` have been some of the worst open source Python libraries I have ever used that I had to use.
They break backwards compatibility constantly, even on APIs which are not underscore/dunder named even on minor version releases without even documenting this, they refuse PRs fixing their lack of `overloads` type annotations which breaks type checking on their libraries and they just generally seem to have spaghetti code. I am not excited that another team is joining them and consolidating more engineering might in the hands of these people

And clearly I say all of this in my name and not my employers name

And I said all of that despite us continuing to use their platform and libraries extensively… We just don’t have a choice due to their dominance of open source ML

Is there a local webui that integrates with Hugging face?
Ollama and webui seem to rapidly lose their charm. Ollama now includes cloud apis which makes no sense as a local.

This acquisition is almost the same as the acquisition of Bun by Anthropic.
Both $0 revenue "companies", but have created software that is essential to the wider ecosystem and has mindshare value; Bun for Javascript and Ggml for AI models.
But of course the VCs needed an exit sooner or later. That was inevitable.

I believe ggml.ai was funded by angel investors, not VC.
