$13 billion for a company with $150 million annual revenue. 86x revenue is a crazy valuation.

I wonder how long until Nvidia tweak the site such that you can only download models if you're using Nvidia hardware, or something like that.

Nvidia needs to keep that AI ouroboros to keep funneling the same money over and over back to them to artificially boost their revenue as much as possible in this bubble.

It makes perfect sense, if your goal is to shut down OSS competition.
