Nvidia to Acquire AI Platform Hugging Face for $12.93 Billion, Maintain Open Ecosystem
Nvidia has agreed to acquire AI platform Hugging Face for approximately $12.93 billion, aiming to expand access to open-source AI models and support a broad developer ecosystem. Hugging Face hosts over 3 million models and serves more than 18 million developers and 200,000 companies.
