KI: Nvidia übernimmt KI-Plattform Hugging Face für 13 Milliarden Dollar
Der Chipriese kauft die Open-Source-Plattform, die im vergangenen Jahr noch ein Nvidia-Investment abgelehnt hatte. Damit kontrolliert Nvidia nun einen größeren Teil der KI-Industrie.
Düsseldorf - Chipmaker Nvidia has announced the acquisition of AI platform Hugging Face for $13 billion, strengthening Nvidia's position in the AI industry. This was revealed by Nvidia on Thursday, following a year when Hugging Face had turned down an investment offer from Nvidia. Hugging Face provides free access to "open" models, which users can download and modify as they see fit.
Nvidia stated that the acquisition aimed to expand and accelerate access to AI for developers and institutions. With around 18 million users and three million individual models, Hugging Face is described as a "vibrant home" for the developer community. Over 200,000 companies already utilize the platform. Nvidia emphasized that Hugging Face will remain an open platform, with no Nvidia hardware required for use.
Nvidia already leads as the largest model and data provider on the platform. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was quoted as saying, "We cannot wait to build the future with you" to Hugging Face users.
