"Models on hf" (unspecified) are "FREE"? Like "free to download"? Sure, but nobody was talking about that. They cost money to run inference on. Unless you are talking about some tiny toy models that are useless for any non-toy problems. You clearly don't have any idea what you're talking about. Just stop, man.
