| 12:36 PM ET | $NVDA | 12:36 PM ET @tchsignal on X Nvidia’s $12.9B Hugging Face Deal Raises a Bigger Question About Open AI Nvidia has agreed to acquire Hugging Face in a deal valued at about $12.93 billion, but the transaction has not closed yet. It is expected to complete in the first half of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. The bigger issue is what Nvidia ownership could mean for an AI platform used by more than 18 million developers, researchers and creators, with over 3 million models, 500,000 datasets and 1 million applications. Nvidia says Hugging Face will remain an open platform. Developers will not… | |
| 12:06 PM ET | $NVDA | 12:06 PM ET @TheHumanoidHub on X Nvidia is now a humanoid robot designer. That's the real takeaway from this news. Nvidia is acquiring Hugging Face for $12.93B. Hugging Face is the largest open-model and dataset hub, the "GitHub of AI," with 3M+ models and 18M+ developers, robotics included. But here's the interesting part: Hugging Face has a serious robotics team from its acquisition of Pollen Robotics, which designs and builds open-source hardware platforms for robots, including humanoids (Reachy). Pollen team now gets the backing of the world's most valuable company. $NVDA | |

| 10:45 AM ET | $NVDA | 10:45 AM ET @stretchcloud on X $12.9B is not a model acquisition. It is a distribution acquisition.NVIDIA just locked in the largest AI developer community on the planet: 18M developers, 3M models, 500K datasets, 1M apps. Jensen's team is not buying Hugging Face for what it does today. They are buying the channel through which every future model will move.Hardware companies do not buy software companies to improve their margins. They do it to eliminate the surface area where the next bottleneck forms. This is the same logic behind Intel buying McAfee and Qualcomm buying NXP. Except the AI compute market is growing faster… | |
| 9:10 AM ET | $NVDA | 9:10 AM ET @CKCapitalxx on X $NVDA just officially agreed to acquire Hugging Face for $12.93 billion. Hugging Face is where open source AI lives. Over 18 million developers, 3 million models, 500,000 datasets, and 200,000 companies using it to discover, test and deploy AI. Every open weight release lands there first. The detail most people will miss is that Nvidia was already the largest contributor to the platform. Over 500 models and 250 open datasets released there. They've been building inside this ecosystem for years, and now they own it. Here's what it opens up. >Distribution. Nvidia owns the compute. Hugging Face… | |
| 8:28 AM ET | $NVDA | 8:28 AM ET @Biti8888 on X 🚨 BREAKING: @nvidia has officially confirmed the acquisition of @huggingface Jensen Huang said open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation, and let every developer, startup, and country build AI on their own terms. He thanked Hugging Face CEO @ClementDelangue for the trust - NVIDIA will be a great home for the platform and its community. 🤗 Deal size: ~$11.9B, closing expected in 2027. PS picture is not real😁 | |
| 8:22 AM ET | $NVDA | 8:22 AM ET @techniahqrobot on X People saw the NVIDIA and Hugging Face acquisition news and immediately focused on foundation models, GPUs and the broader AI industry. But one of the biggest consequences could be in Physical AI and humanoid robotics. NVIDIA already controls a major part of the robotics stack with GR00T, Cosmos, Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, Jetson Thor, CUDA and TensorRT. Hugging Face adds another critical layer with LeRobot, open robotics datasets, pretrained policies, VLA tooling, model distribution and Pollen Robotics with Reachy 2. Bring those pieces closer together and the robotics workflow becomes much more… | |

| 8:10 AM ET | — | 8:10 AM ET @Thom_Wolf on X So happy to finally share the news in person It’s been a wild ride for Hugging Face. We certainly did not anticipate, back in 2016, as a tiny team of scrappy underdogs, that the field would grow so much or that the impact we could have on it would become so massive. I remember @julien_c joking that « code will be a subset of ML » several years ago. The joke turned out to be true, and the pleasure we’ve had being part of this transformation and pushing an alternative vision of AI as open, collaborative and distributed has been and still is immense. We’ve always built things seriously while not… | |

| 3:30 AM ET | $NVDA | 3:30 AM ET @massimo_mazza on X Silicon Valley is having its biggest shopping spree in history 🛒 💰 Nvidia buys Hugging Face for $12.9B 🤖 SoftBank circling humanoid maker 1X at $6B ⚡ Cursor at $60B, OpenRouter ~$8B, Decart $6B+ The pattern: nobody is buying revenue. They are buying distribution chokepoints, open-weight ecosystems and robot bodies before unit economics exist. When strategic buyers set the prices, cash flows stop being the scoreboard 🎯 | |
| 12:39 PM ET | 12:39 PM ET @TheHumanoidHub on X Home robots are coming. The first ones in will be the small ones that are safe around kids and pets. Hugging Face's Pollen Robotics just opened pre-orders for Microduck, a $399 biped. 25cm, under 800g, 15 motors, a camera, a small LiDAR, two IMUs, and an articulated beak that picks things up. Ships with 7 pre-trained behaviors including walking, kicking, and roller skating. Open on GitHub under Apache-2.0: the SDK, the simulator, and the RL training pipeline. So you can teach it new tricks. | ||
