Hugging Face's Merve Noyan responded to speculation about NVIDIA acquiring the company: no deal has been signed yet, hinting that if HF were as money-driven as depicted, "we could have probably jumped on it."
Addressing concerns that NVIDIA ownership would deepen CUDA favoritism, she said HF's current CUDA tilt reflects what the community asked for, not an internal stance, then declined to engage further.
