HuggingSocial is a peer-to-peer place to find, discuss and download open AI models and datasets. It is a model hub that no company owns: the list of models, the model cards, the comments and the votes all live on a peer-to-peer network, and the model files themselves are fetched over BitTorrent (or plain HTTP mirrors), verified on your machine with checksums.

If HuggingFace does enshittify, my guess is ModelScope will be the one that takes over, since it's Chinese and open weights models are dominated by the Chinese

What do you mean "if"? You think Nvidia is paying $12B for it out of the kindness of their hearts?

Chinese will enshittify it too and it will be a duopoly
