This acquisition should be blocked (and never will sadly), they now have both the incentive and the ability to influence a platform that's supposed to be hardware agnostic (and built trust over that) toward CUDA stack
Microsoft did the exact same with github, acquired stack agnostic platform, and turned it into a copilot/azure one
My primary concern is that Nvidia will bow to the pressure and restrict abliterated/uncensored models on HF.
The problem for them is that the leading provider of training and inference is actually AWS...
That's the anthropics and openais of the world.
