This acquisition is almost the same as the acquisition of Bun by Anthropic.

Both $0 revenue "companies", but have created software that is essential to the wider ecosystem and has mindshare value; Bun for Javascript and Ggml for AI models.

But of course the VCs needed an exit sooner or later. That was inevitable.

As someone who's been in the "AI" space for a while its strange how Hugging Face went from one of the biggest name to not a part of the discussion at all.

I think that's because there's less local AI usage now since there's all kinds of image models by the big labs, so there's really no rush of people self hosting stable diffusion etc anymore

the space moved from Consumer to Enterprise pretty fast due to models getting bigger

It isn't necessary to be part of the discussion if you are truly adding value (which HF continues to do). It's nice to see a company doing what it does best without constantly driving the hype train.
