Nvidia to acquire AI platform Hugging Face in landmark $12.9B deal
Nvidia has agreed to acquire AI platform Hugging Face in a landmark $12.93 billion deal. This acquisition merges Nvidia's hardware and infrastructure capabilities with Hugging Face's role as a central hub for global AI development. Hugging Face currently hosts over 18 million developers, researchers, and creators on its platform, which powers AI deployments for more than 200,000 organizations worldwide.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang assured that Hugging Face will maintain its open, multi-cloud platform structure, allowing developers to choose their preferred frameworks, cloud providers, inference engines, and hardware. Huang emphasized that AI advances faster when people can collaborate, and Nvidia's infrastructure, engineering, and global reach will bolster platform reliability, safety, model evaluation, and deployment while preserving the open ecosystem that made Hugging Face significant.
Hugging Face co-founders Clem Delangue, Julien Chaumond, and Thomas Wolf will lead the team to expand the platform globally.
