I recognize many of the institutions you mentioned such as Nvidia and MIT. How confident are you that the more obscure ones like Hugging Face are trustworthy?
I’m not sure what you particularly mean by trustworthy. If you mean a place with good attitudes and practices towards existential AI safety, then I’m not sure HF has demonstrated that.
If you mean a company I can instrumentally trust to build and host tools that make it easy to work with large transformer models, then yes, it seems like HF pretty much has a monopoly on that for the moment, and it’s worth using their tools for a lot of empirical AI safety research.
