US DOJ Investigates Nvidia's Acquisition of Hugging Face Over Competition Concerns
The US Department of Justice is investigating Nvidia's $12.93 billion acquisition of open-source AI platform Hugging Face, focusing on potential competition impacts and Nvidia's broader business practices. Officials are examining whether the deal could give Nvidia control over a key AI distribution point. Nvidia expects to complete the acquisition by mid-2027 and states Hugging Face will continue collaborating with various AI and cloud providers. The DOJ's inquiry is part of a wider, ongoing antitrust review of Nvidia's conduct, with no allegations of wrongdoing confirmed.
