AlexTensor · x · 2026-11-13
Nvidia's $12.9B acquisition of Hugging Face (announced in September, the company's second-largest deal after the $20B Groq asset purchase) was thrown into question when CEO Jensen Huang departed. Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue called it a "really sad day" but pledged the team will keep fighting for open-source AI "harder than ever." TechCrunch notes Huang was a vocal open-weights advocate, and the statement is meant to reassure worried open-source supporters.
