NVIDIA to acquire Hugging Face for $12.93 billion
NVIDIA said on September 3, 2026 that it has agreed to acquire Hugging Face for $12,930,300,000, in a post signed by CEO Jensen Huang. NVIDIA says the platform stays open: developers keep choosing their own models, frameworks, clouds and inference providers, and NVIDIA compute will not be required to build or deploy through Hugging Face. The post counts more than 18 million users, over 3 million models, 500,000 datasets and 200,000 companies on the platform, and says NVIDIA is its largest contributor of open models and data.
Hugging Face will remain an open platform for the entire AI ecosystem.
