NVIDIA is buying Hugging Face, the platform where millions of developers share AI models, for nearly $13 billion. The deal promises to keep Hugging Face open and independent while scaling its infrastructure.
- Hugging Face has 18 million users sharing 3 million models and serves 200,000 companies; NVIDIA says it won't require its own compute to build or deploy on the platform.
- NVIDIA is already the largest contributor of open models to Hugging Face (500+ models, 250+ datasets) and frames the acquisition as strengthening open-source AI rather than locking it down.
- The deal hinges on a commitment to multi-cloud, multi-accelerator support—meaning developers won't be forced to use NVIDIA hardware even after the acquisition.
