CEO of Hugging Face: I am very happy to announce that Hugging Face intends to cooperate with NVIDIA to form a strong alliance with a transaction amount of $12.93 billion. On the 10th anniversary of Hugging Face, open source AI is at a critical turning point. Thanks to the strong support of the community, we've proven that open source AI can be a powerful complement to, or even an alternative to, closed source APIs. However, to achieve large-scale development, the open source ecosystem urgently needs greater computing power support, broader resource investment, deeper collaboration, and higher industry visibility. That's why we actively sought negotiations with Jensen, who offered to work with us to advance this vision. NVIDIA's contribution to open source AI is obvious to all. In this partnership, they will not only double their investment, but also solemnly promise to fully support Hugging Face's mission and resolutely maintain the platform's openness, independence, and “irrelevant computing power.” Our founders and core team will all remain in office to continue to move this great mission forward. We strongly believe that through joint efforts, open source will become the default way to build AI. Our goal is to empower 100 million AI builders to truly “own” intelligence rather than just “rent” it. We're excited for the next ten years!
