Canceling My Pro Subscription
I'm officially canceling my Hugging Face Pro subscription today.
I supported this platform because it stood for true openness and neutrality. This acquisition by NVIDIA fundamentally changes that.
Here’s why I’m against this deal:
- Neutrality is dead. NVIDIA is a US-based company. This means US regulations will inevitably dictate platform policies, creating direct pressure on Chinese developers and anyone building open-weight models outside the US.
- Community over bureaucracy. NVIDIA is a massive, slow-moving corporation. This acquisition will likely drown the community in corporate processes and commercial interests. Soon, uploading a simple finetune might become a bureaucratic nightmare.
- Open vs. Proprietary. Hugging Face was built on open-source ideals. NVIDIA? They are a fiercely proprietary hardware company with a minimal track record of meaningful open-source contributions. They sell chips, not freedom.
- And to add insult to injury, NVIDIA has practically abandoned consumer RTX GPUs in 2026 to chase data center profits. Why would I pay them for "openness" when they've turned their back on the very developers who built this ecosystem?
I paid for openness. Not for a corporate takeover.
