        I think the deeper question is how would they make money doing that?

Yeah, there is a great opportunity for someone else to rise in this space.

https://featherless.ai/ https://featherless.ai/ Use them as fallback to my Hermes. Honestly pretty amazing team!

  Looks incredible. Love the web previews.

  As I understand it, you're an investor in Featherless. It's good to mention that.

Ollama, Replicate, Together. Ollama is probably the most advanced but smallest library. I think Ollama will probably step in and replace HF because they have always been first movers. They did llama.cpp better than llama.cpp did llama.cpp and were very quick to bring highly usable prosumer solutions to market. Why not GitHub or one of these wannabes like Tangled? Seems perfect for Tangled - why not?

Does the acquisition mean hugging face will stop hosting open models though? I'll check out the alternatives mentioned here too. Don't open weight models also self host too?
