Hugging Face, a prominent open-source AI start-up.
Isn't huggingface more like a generic project hosting site like github, which just got picked up by the open source AI community as its "github, but for model weights" host? Calling that an AI startup would be as weird as calling civitai (another hosting service focused primarily on stable diffusion resources) an AI startup.
I think calling both those sites as AI start-up makes sense, as they're parts of the pipeline, just on the tail end. There are plenty of AI startups that are glorified ChatGPT API wrappers, so they clear that bar.

The reporter probably "researched" AI (and related topics?) by quickly googling and checking Wikipedia.

I was reminded of the creature from Alien
