Jensen's purchase of a new toy could reshape the entire AI industry
This week on The Kettle we weigh in on Nvidia's Hugging Face acquisition and why it could spell a new, more fragmented and siloed era of AI development
The Register's Kettle podcast delves into Nvidia's $12.9 billion acquisition of AI repository Hugging Face. Host Brandon Vigliarolo, joined by reporters Dan Robinson and Tom Claburn, discusses the implications of this deal for the AI industry. Hugging Face, known as the "GitHub of AI," hosts open models and serves a large community of developers.
The podcast explores whether Nvidia's acquisition will enable Hugging Face to achieve its goal of reaching 100 million developers. Tom Claburn questions the sustainability of Hugging Face's growth and the economics behind providing free models. The conversation also touches upon potential antitrust concerns and the possibility of Nvidia investing in Perplexity, an AI search and agent platform.
