That’s how HuggingFace has been; not to mention a tendency of the authors to be hostile towards people with feedback on how they can make things accessible.
The problem is that HF markets itself very well, which leads to many publications to publish models here rather than using standalone clean modules. A pity, but a monopoly over NLP models here does at least provide a platform for easy access.
There’s also a lack of testing of their own code, often missing obvious bugs and snippets that won’t even let modules load; Again, they can market they have the latest models while not really providing them in working quality, calling it “WIP”
Its a startup in the end, so scummy tactics and angry employees aren’t really below the expectations. What I would advise is be thankful for what you get already
