I don't see how they could be burning considerable amounts of money on storage, as long as they have setup their own infrastructure and don't rent it.
I don't know how much they're storing, I guess they're in the petabyte territory. That's what, a few tens of millions of dollars of up front investment?
Not free, but not such a huge amount of money.
All they do is store tho, they dont profit off that I imagine, I honestly have no clue
Probably hoping to do what GitHub did. Profit of the metrics of who is downloading what, who is developing what and having everyone uploading all their stuff to them.
Microsoft didn't buy GitHub for the storage and bandwidth bills.
NVidia isn't buying huggingface for the storage and bandwidth bills either
