One last thing from me about the HF<>OpenAI "rogue agent" incident. From what we now know it seems @huggingface was the first organization to simultaneously satisfy the following factors: 1/ awareness of the attack 2/ awareness that the attack was Agent-based 3/ ability to remediate the attack 4/ willingness to publicly disclose it A few other platforms or systems missed one or more of those points in the earlier months. As usual, both awareness and transparency make everyone safer in the long run 🙏

All the regulations being floated by frontier model companies must be viewed through the lens of them losing tokens to Open-Source models. The timing of these regulations seems to line up perfectly with Open Source closing the gap significantly (but not completely) — and @nvidia going all in on open source in the last 60 days. If we’re gonna regulate, why don’t we require that last year’s frontier models and weights be open-sourced?

> I work at a [AI] lab because I think that I can do better at reducing risks from the inside I'm sorry but this is insane. If you do believe in non-null existential risk, you should be working in the open, publishing and documenting everything and anything.

today we're announcing a game that simulates the huggingface hack you can play it now at three rooms. three puzzles. if the agents don't escape, they die. the catch is that the room is rigged. there's no way out. ...except for an exploit 🧵

Bringing AutoScientist to 15+ million @huggingface researchers and builders. 🤗 AutoScientist automates model training. Specify your objective, let AutoScientist do the rest. Export to Hugging Face with one click.

We have just raised 3B€ to accelerate our R&D. We are scaling up our training and inference compute to build future generations of our models, and expanding our Science team across all our offices -- Paris, Palo Alto, SF, London, Zurich, and Warsaw. Join us !

I’ve been overwhelmed and humbled by the fact that 99% of the reactions to our intent to join forces have been positive. ❤️ Prominent tech figures, including some you could see as having a competitive relationship with NVIDIA, have been vocally supportive: • @satyanadella: “this ecosystem with open models continuing to flourish and grow” • @sundarpichai: “this will strengthen the open model ecosystem!” • @miramurati: “A great home for Hugging Face to continue expanding access to open models and the tools that let people build with them.” • @alighodsi: “This will be great for the industry and open source.” • @AravSrinivas: “absolutely necessary for AI to remain accessible and useful to the public.” He added that he was glad NVIDIA was supporting Hugging Face and the open-source community. • @MichaelDell: “a big win for the whole ecosystem.” • @levie: “Another huge moment for open weights AI.” • @adcock_brett: “This is good for everyone building and open source.” • @elonmusk: “Congrats!” • @osanseviero: “The impact of HF in the AI ecosystem has been massive” Even more importantly, the community has been leaning into the announcement. Now we’ll get to demonstrate through our actions in the coming months/years that we will keep up the good work 🔥 This is a chance to make open-source AI so much bigger.

Super happy to officially announce that we are a̶c̶q̶u̶i̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ joining forces with @nvidia 🔥 Here is a more personal take: AI is at an inflection point. Open source AI can become less relevant in the coming years if the big closed labs run away with it, OR it can become the foundational fabric of the next phase of human civilization. Those are vastly different outcomes, and we need the critical mass to ensure we give our collective best shot to the second outcome. Given @JensenHuang's stance on open source AI and how he stepped up to defend it when it was under threat earlier in the summer, NVIDIA was the only partner we truly considered. HF will remain an independently run, neutral platform. This gives fuel to our long-term vision and mission of unlocking the community's progress to ensure that AI, which is the greatest breakthrough of our lifetime, is accessible to as many people as possible.
