KURZMELDUNGEN - Wirtschaft: Chiphersteller Nvidia kauft KI-Firma Hugging Face
Die neuesten Meldungen.
In September, Nvidia, a leading American semiconductor chip manufacturer, confirmed it had purchased Hugging Face, an open-source artificial intelligence (AI) platform, for $13 billion. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed the acquisition on Thursday, stating that the company would work together to scale Hugging Face's platform, strengthen its infrastructure, and expand global access to AI for developers and institutions.
Hugging Face, founded by a Swiss researcher, offers millions of open-source AI models, enabling researchers and developers to download and use models, datasets, and applications. The platform gained worldwide recognition this summer after Open AI, an independent AI agent, attacked Hugging Face. Nvidia CEO Huang affirmed that Hugging Face would remain an open-source platform, with Nvidia's computational power not required for its usage.
The acquisition strengthens Nvidia's market position, as the company already owns stakes in large language model developers like Open AI and Anthropic, as well as other tech giants such as Intel, Nokia, Core Weave, and SpaceX. Nvidia holds investments in approximately 130 startups. Huang confirmed that Hugging Face's open-source nature would remain intact, emphasizing its commitment to fostering innovation and accessibility in the AI industry.
