Yeah, we need to go back to names like International Business Machines, fuck this immature "Google" or "Yahoo!" nonsense. Hell, Palantir is named after something in a book for children!
Give me something reasonable like Global Information and Retrieval Systems Inc or Worldwide Computational Services Holdings.
That might be true, but nothing else has been as effective at accelerating model development and research sharing.
In earlier circles they were known as the "pytorch-pretrained-bert" guys, still under the huggingface company name. IIRC it was a health chatbot type startup.
As opposed to the frontier model company that, after discovering that their highly persistent model under test just breached the only thing between it and the open Internet, shrugged and said- let's restart it and keep going!
If anyone looks like the adult in the room after that incident, it's Hugging Face.
the name is a leftover from their original business - a chatbot. seems very appropriate to me. then they figured something called BERT exists, and pivoted, the name stayed.
perhaps less ridiculous than NVidia which started with video and is very close in Levenshtein distance to NVidAI but, alas, decided to stay as it is :D
What an amazing idea for the next fake sandbox escape to hype up our new release! With the added bonus of providing an open model without becoming an open model company! Thank you!
Ran the disclosure inbox at a previous job and the biggest win from security.txt was just cutting the "hi I found a bug, is there a bounty" emails to sales. Put an expires date on it though, stale ones get ignored.
