HF Researcher: Big AI Labs Turn on Jensen Because He Fights for Open-Source
mervenoyann · x · 2026-11-15
Mervenoyann of Hugging Face laid out a take on the recent negative press around Jensen Huang and NVIDIA:
- The "pacing" of data center buildouts would have happened anyway; the plans were already going to be halted.
- Among the big players, Jensen is almost the only one fighting for open-source, which undermines large AI companies' profit margins — their spokespeople have said so before, and they're known not to like Jensen.
- Those companies have the power and means to push this narrative, though he stops short of accusing specific individuals.
In the quoted post he adds that coverage from The Economist, WSJ, and NYT is worth comparing, asks who benefits from Jensen's fall, points to "a group of monopolists" (without directly accusing Dario), and notes NVIDIA recently committed to training SOTA models and open-sourcing them (e.g., the poolside acquisition) — so removing Jensen wouldn't kneecap NVIDIA; it hits market cap short-term but changes strategy.
