        I dont really understand their business model.

        Hosting these huge model files. Why cant facebook/goog/m$ just do that on their own?

        How did these massive ai giants end up relying on huggingface for everything?

          Collaboration. Industry leaders, universities, and hobbbiests can all collaborate in the same place rather then siloing to their own infrastructure

            Sure, but why do meta/goog/MS need to be there? Are they opening up research to each other?

          Well you see. AI companies are run by idiots with too much money to throw around so all you have to do is tell them your startup is github for ai models and they’ll bury you with money.

    Why these robots never get a cool appearance? I’m not talking full-body, streamlined, Ultron-like, but in actual commercial models even the face alone seems to be an easy task for movie designers and impossible for industry ones.

      Design for movies only have to look good for a few minutes of close-up, and there are many tricks for making them look better in those few minutes.

        Few minutes? Some have entire movies, but still look better than commercial bots like “Pepper”, for example.
