I'm not saying that the conspiracy theory is true, but I do want to note that Greg Brockman, co-founder and President of OpenAI, is an angel investor in HuggingFace. As companies, they are not totally unconnected and opposed.

I don't know if Greg Brockman is an angel investor or not, but there are a bunch of other companies investing -- Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, IBM, Salesforce -- probably at much higher amount than individual angel investors. Whatever connection they may have with Greg Brockman, they have much more serious commitment to other investors.
