A week ago the acquisition was an unconfirmed report. Jensen Huang has now announced it himself, at $12,930,300,000, and committed that Nvidia compute will not be required to use Hugging Face.
- Nvidia may buy Hugging Face. Here is why that matters.
Nobody has confirmed a deal. What the report shows is where value is accumulating — the company that dominates AI hardware moving closer to the place developers go to find open models.
