hugging-face

Nvidia's $12.93 billion deal for Hugging Face priced a $150 million business at 86 times revenue weeks after OpenAI offered to use the hub as a storefront for its own chip, and the only thing holding the buyer to neutrality is a pledge no regulator has yet written down.

Nvidia signed a definitive agreement on September 2 to buy Hugging Face for $12.93 billion, about 86 times the hub's reported revenue, after Hugging Face's chief executive approached Jensen Huang over the summer and other bidders, by Huang's account, set the price.
