Hugging Face
Open-source AI platform (Hub, Transformers, Datasets) — acquisition target of NVIDIA (~$12.9B, 2026-09-03)
OSINT Profile
Hugging Face — the 'GitHub of AI' — is the world's largest open-source AI platform (model hub, datasets, Spaces, Transformers/Datasets libraries), founded in 2016 in New York by Clément Delangue, Julien Chaumond and Thomas Wolf, with Paris as its main European hub. Valued at $4.5B in the 2023 Series D ($235M, backed by Google and NVIDIA); in 2025 it reportedly turned down a large NVIDIA investment at a ~$7B valuation to keep its independence. NVIDIA agreed to acquire Hugging Face for ~$12.9B on 2026-09-03 ($11.9B to shareholders + up to $1B equity retention for HF employees joining NVIDIA; HF to remain an open platform; expected close H1 2027 pending regulatory approvals; antitrust runway + GPU-neutrality of the Hub are the live radar questions). hf-nvidia-ma-2026 node: announced at the HF All Hands (~160 participants).
