A Reddit post claims Nvidia has acquired Hugging Face, with CEO Clem Delangue taking to X to vow he will keep fighting for open source AI and reassure the community about the platform's future under new ownership.

The poster reads the CEO's wording as less reassuring than intended, adopt a wait-and-see attitude, and advises backing up your favorite models and datasets once again just in case. The acquisition itself remains unconfirmed.
