Hugging Face lead: we always put community before monetization, no NVIDIA deal signed yet
mervenoyann · x · 2026-08-27
Responding to concerns that Hugging Face could change under NVIDIA ownership, Merve Noyan said there were many ways to monetize the Hub, but the team has consistently prioritized supporting the community. She noted that, per the news, no deal has been signed, and while it may be one of the negotiation terms, she has no visibility beyond whether a signature exists — adding they "would have probably jumped to it if money was the utmost priority."
