Nvidia is reportedly negotiating to acquire AI model hub Hugging Face for more than $13B, while Microsoft’s earlier talks with the company are no longer active
If completed, the acquisition would give Nvidia direct control over a key platform for open-source AI model distribution and collaboration.
