Nvidia's Hugging Face Acquisition

Nvidia reportedly agreed to pay $12.9 billion for Hugging Face, a company doing roughly $150 million a year.

The real asset is habit: millions of small decisions about where to find, tune, and run open models, plus the compute bill that follows. Also on the table: what happens to Hugging Face's neutrality when the largest chip vendor on the planet owns the front door.
