Commentary: US$13 billion Hugging Face deal would crown Nvidia king of AI

Nvidia, a leading chipmaker in the artificial intelligence sector, is reportedly acquiring Hugging Face, a prominent platform for open-source AI models, for $13 billion. This acquisition comes amid growing competition in the AI space, particularly from OpenAI, which has developed its own custom AI chip called Jalapeno. Hugging Face previously turned down a $500 million investment offer from Nvidia in 2024 due to concerns over centralized control in AI development. The acquisition could allow Nvidia to strengthen its position against closed-source AI companies like OpenAI and Google, while promoting open models that can be used across different hardware platforms. However, the move raises questions about whether Nvidia's support for open AI aligns with its commercial interests.
