On September 3, 2026, Nvidia officially announced its agreement to acquire the artificial intelligence development platform Hugging Face for approximately $12.93 billion (some reports say $13 billion). This transaction aims to strengthen Nvidia’s position in the field of open-source AI, gain access to over 3 million models and dataset resources managed by Nvidia, and enhance its connection with the global developer community. This acquisition is seen as a strategic move by Nvidia to counter competition from rivals such as OpenAI and Anthropic, while also aiming to mitigate potential risks resulting from the slowdown in chip demand. Hugging Face was created by Clem, Julien, and their team over the past decade and currently has over 18 million developer users. After the transaction, Nvidia will control this leading open-source AI platform and its vast developer ecosystem, while committing to maintaining the platform’s openness to preserve its core value.
