Engineered yeast for agent for $13B
Nvidia buying Hugging Face would give them even more control over the software stack. Acquiring HF fits in perfectly. The play is long term. Huggingface sold out. Sad day. All the good companies lose their 'dont do evil' clause as soon as they do those products stop innovating and begin dying.
Boy, there sure is a lot of investment they have in the closed models. Time to see how Jensen plays it. OpenRouter->Stripe (~$7B). Hugging Face->Nvidia ($13B). Keep an eye on Exa. With local models and niche harnesses proliferating, they're going to need a way to balance this out.
Assuming this deal goes through, I do wonder what this means for the future of LLM and Ai and you decide to Nvidia. All for $13bn, folk don't understand money. The companies have aligned incentives so I don't think this is a cost question, but for control, all bets are off...
OpenRouter->Stripe (~$7B). Hugging Face->Nvidia ($13B). Keep an eye on Exa. With local models and niche harnesses proliferating, they're going to need a way to go. But I haven't written a single line yet. Great for Nvidia. Bad for the rest of us. Looking forward to the Delamain future.
