Künstliche Intelligenz: Nvidia will offenbar Hugging Face in Milliardendeal kaufen
Der weltgrößte Chiphersteller greift nach dem zentralen Marktplatz für Open-Source-KI. Ein Deal könnte Hugging Face mit über 13 Milliarden Dollar bewerten – wirft aber auch Fragen auf.
In a major development in the global race for artificial intelligence supremacy, a US semiconductor company Nvidia is reportedly in negotiations to acquire the leading AI platform Hugging Face, according to Business Insider. The value of the deal is estimated at over $13 billion (approximately €11.7 billion). While a final agreement has not yet been reached and talks could still fall through, the scale of the proposal underscores Nvidia's aggressive expansion strategy.
Nvidia and Hugging Face have not commented on the reports. Hugging Face, based in New York, is a central platform for open-source AI development. Founded in 2016 by French entrepreneurs Clément Delangue, Julien Chaumond, and Thomas Wolf, the platform now hosts millions of AI models, datasets, and code libraries. Developers and researchers worldwide rely on the portal as the standard infrastructure for creating, sharing, and further developing AI applications.
