NVIDIA has agreed to acquire Hugging Face for $12,930,300,000 — the number is an Easter egg: the 🤗 emoji's Unicode codepoint U+1F917 converts to decimal 129303. Matt Hartman notes founders Clément Delangue, Julien Chaumond and Thom Wolf "don't take themselves too seriously even in a moment like this."
