Do you think sama deliberately attacked HuggingFace and then claimed it was a rogue model?
OpenAI is one of the most scrutinized companies in the world right now. Sam's house was independently firebombed and then shot at 3 months ago. HuggingFace is a foreign competitor with every incentive to call out foul play from American frontier labs. Why flagrantly break the law and invite investigation just for a PR moment which is already backfiring in favor of open models?
I'm not saying that the conspiracy theory is true, but I do want to note that Greg Brockman, co-founder and President of OpenAI, is an angel investor in HuggingFace. As companies, they are not totally unconnected and opposed.
I don't know if Greg Brockman is an angel investor or not, but there are a bunch of other companies investing -- Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, IBM, Salesforce -- probably at much higher amount than individual angel investors. Whatever connection they may have with Greg Brockman, they have much more serious commitment to other investors.
