Nvidia agrees to acquire Hugging Face for $13B

Nvidia is in talks to acquire Hugging Face, a major open-source AI platform, for over $13 billion, though no deal has been finalized yet. The acquisition would give Nvidia significant control over a central hub in the AI ecosystem where millions of models and datasets are shared, potentially driving more workloads to its chips. However, the deal could undermine Hugging Face's current neutrality, as it currently supports hardware from Nvidia competitors like AMD and Intel.
