Nvidia buys Hugging Face for $13 billion and says it will stay open

Ars Technica· 3 Sep

Nvidia agreed to buy Hugging Face, home to millions of open models and datasets, for $13 billion, a year after Hugging Face turned down Nvidia investment to stay independent. If you run any open-weight model, its shop window changed owners. Nothing breaks today; the question is what open means in two years.

  • If you run an open model, download and keep the exact weights you use.
  • Note the licence of each model you rely on. Licences outlive owners.
