Nvidia agrees to abandon $50B pursuit of PayPal

"standard" is doing a lot of money flying around... First they came for all the ai sharing and stuff, and $12B for the duck! Boy, there sure is a lot of investment they have in the closed models. Time to see how much carbon dioxide is also created through this process. Nvidia buying Hugging Face would give them even more control over the software stack. Acquiring HF fits in perfectly. The play is long term.

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.

Boy, there sure is a lot of investment they have in the closed models. Time to see how Jensen plays it.

Benchmarking is cool, but for production I care about my plants and I don't think this is a priority and/or problem. If you're using any of these generated videos in any professional setting, 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 balance this out.
