Summary

ModelScope is presented as an alternative platform to Hugging Face, particularly following Nvidia's deal, though the long-term impact on Hugging Face remains uncertain.

I liked the Nvidia that focused on just GPUs for gaming, not on the Nvidia of today which seem want power consolidation. Modelscope is another platform for those that simply want to know an alternative if things go south. However, time will tell what happens to huggingface after the deal is finalized Link: https://modelscope.cn/home
