- ChefboyOG 6y agoI think this illustrates just how complex the topic is, though. Hugging Face is awesome, and Transformers has done so much to democratize NLP, but does it exists without labs like OpenAI releasing models like GPT-2? The ecosystem is still young and fluid, and as a result, it's super complex. I completely understand the critique of what OpenAI is now vs. what they positioned themselves as early on, but I think it is also a symptom of all the open questions around how ML research is to be done in a way that maximizes community benefit while remaining sustainable.
- jayparth 6y agoHugging Face is also a for-profit startup. I wonder how betrayed this guy is going to feel betrayed when they launch a paid service...
- manquer 6y agoOpen doesn’t mean free. Plenty of for profit open source companies are making good money . Redis gitlab, elastic, sentry, docker, mongo Etc Open source has very specific definitions OSI has a good process to determine whether a project meets them. I doubt openAI can meet them
- lostmsu 6y agoAre they doing any notable research at all?
