So it is not going to be supported?

@nitinmukesh Unlikely, I was the only one working on it, essentially in my own time, and HF have fired me because I asked for a raise.

it could explain why the nodes aren't able to contact the server anymore.

@hlky
Not sure how to interpret that, was that sarcasm or are you serious.

I don't joke around about such things. Let me tell you a little about my underpaid journey into hell (iykyk)

be me
doing optimization and Rust x Electron UI for a startup last year
Nvidia stealth acquisition, let go just before of course
try a few things next, dataset curation, crowdsourced annotation platform, apply to a few places
start contributing to HF repos, already had 2 applications ghosted at that point, maybe they will notice me
contributions well received, apply for a job, 3rd times the charm surely
ghosted
get to the point where I need a job
stop contributing, make it clear that I will not be able to continue
days later, someone reaches out with an offer
low ball, but whatever, I was only going to kms or go back to Amazon Logistics anyway
do my job and do it well, clear the backlog of PRs and issues that had been left to rot
suggest style bot to stop PRs from rotting
generally go above and beyond my paygrade
dataset stuff among other things
as an example, openvid is 7tb of zips with no part numbers, solve it with http range requests and parsing zip headers
already had the idea for remote vae, had been saving it until I thought it would be well received
CEO announces change of monetization strategy, fits perfectly
build the prototype over the weekend
two weeks of push back and hostility from other teams
finally get it launched with no support, had to optimize it to work with the minimal resources
not good enough, the optimization library needs to be open source too
work on that on top of everything else, still doing dataset stuff to latch onto the success of Pikaffects and build impact for the team
one day, i'm told my salary will be converted from USD to GBP
hmm strange, sounds like a stealth paycut
I guess it's time to ask for a raise instead, I do more than enough to deserve one
ask for a raise
get fired instead

[nitinmukesh]

Sorry to hear, but don't worry better is waiting for you. AI is growing and there should be enough work and jobs in this space. All the best.

What cruel and ironic situation.

You were the ones who developed the entire RemoteVAE feature — a critical and genuinely useful tool, especially for video models. And now, after being fired simply for asking for a raise, the RemoteVAE functionality on Hugging Face has completely broken down, because you were the only ones actively maintaining and pushing it forward?

It’s disheartening to see such valuable work abandoned because of short-sighted decisions.
