NVIDIA Reportedly to Buy Hugging Face for $12.9B Despite $150M Revenue
heypearlai · x · 2026-08-27
NVIDIA is reportedly offering about $12.9B for Hugging Face, whose revenue is only around $150M. The irony: the platform sits directly in front of millions of AI developers—including those building for AMD, Google, and custom chips. NVIDIA could end up owning the very place where developers obtain models designed to avoid NVIDIA, making this a strategic chokepoint acquisition.
