The removals come as Hugging Face is banned in China, which the company called “regrettable.”

    That scans. I think Disney owns the copyright for Winnie the Pooh.

    By that logic every LLM put there will engage in talk about Xi

    Hugging face makes me nervous. There’s no way they’re making money now and at some point they’re going to lock down all their goodies behind a paywall

    Isn’t this called democracy … we should remember this when you see any politician in any country trying to silence press, or comedians. Cause they’ll definitely remove LLMs or models that make them look or sound bad.

    Another freindly reminder to not just host you model on single host, this bit worrying but nevertless backup your favorite model if you model have to much sensitive stuff.

    note : HF reportedly block in china

      If HF is blocked there, how are we getting models like Yi and QWEN?

        You could write a magnet link into the HF description, would make for an easy switch if it gets erased, people back things up.

        I’m surprised model torrenting isn’t more of a thing. The most legit use-cases possible for torrents are to pass around Linux ISOs and AI models.

        You would think HF would realize they can save a ton of bandwidth by posting a magnet link alongside the download button.

        Back in the early days, they deleted a model because it didn’t suit their delicate sensibilities.

    Looks like I’m backing up the models I like to use. Call me paranoid but this is what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket.

      That isn’t paranoid at all. I backup everything to two 18TB HDDs everytime I make a new SD LoRA or train an SVC/RVC voice clone.

        As an aside, these huge HDD sizes are cool and all, but it’s soooooo much data to trust on one or two drives, it’s wild

          Generally the larger disks have similar failure rates to smaller onces, which means that, if you’re running a storage array, increasing the number of drives actually increases your chances of experiencing a failure, even assuming the best case that drive failures are statistically independent events, which they are not.

          Larger drives also make keeping full backups much easier (i.e. entire backup fits on a single disk, which makes it easier to make and store).

    I think so-vits-SVC is also Chinese made. HF for some reason was scared of gpt-4chan before this. I’m surprised as much stays up on it as it does.

    404 media has also posted some scaremongering AI articles before. Their aim is to probably discredit HF like they discredit funders for several OSS projects here: https://www.404media.co/404-media-podcast-week-13-a16z-funds-civitai/

    I am predicting someone using an AI model to have Xi-Pooh singing, and spilling a pot called China in the thumbnail.
