A Reddit debate questions whether Nvidia's Hugging Face acquisition was a strategic error: the author argues Nvidia already hosted many open-weight models and backed inference engines like vLLM and SGLang, so the deal may have just painted a target on Nvidia's back rather than protecting open-weight models. Others speculate it was about drawing a line between enterprise and consumer/experimental models.
