There's a world of difference between OpenAI and Hugging Face. OpenAI simply has the word "open" in their name, while there is nothing open about them. Hugging Face on the other hand deserves a ton of credit and praise in that regard. It's perfectly fine for a company of that nature to partner with a big player(whether that be Microsoft or AWS or Google or whatever): infrastructure is not free, nor is it cheap. Of course AWS and Microsoft have a lot to gain from this, which is also fine for that exact reason. So long as the community continues to exist and have the ability to use, extend and participate, I don't see anything wrong.
Moreover, Hugging Face has made it stupid simple for anyone to use. So Microsoft, AWS or Google, all I can say is bravo, Hugging Face and thanks for your work.
