There's a conflict of interests in there. Nvidia is heavily tied to OpenAI, Anthropic and the US government. The mostly chinese models hosted on huggingface are direct competitors and viewed as enemy tech by the US government.This is going to be a massive shitshow. Probably starts with banning de-censored versions of the models from the platform.
