Business Insider reports NVIDIA (NVDA.O) is negotiating to acquire AI platform
Hugging Face, which hosts open-source models, in a deal valued at over $13 bln.
Sources say serious talks occurred in recent weeks but no agreement has been
reached and negotiations could still collapse. Microsoft (MSFT.O) met with
Hugging Face previously but has no ongoing contact, sources added. Last year
Hugging Face turned down a $500 mln investment from NVIDIA that would have
valued it at $7 bln, citing a desire to avoid a controlling investor. The
acquisition would be among NVIDIA’s largest deals to date.
