In September 2026, NVIDIA entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Hugging Face for approximately $12.93 billion, including the purchase price and employee retention arrangements. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.
Hugging Face is widely known for its platform where developers share and access open-source AI models, datasets and applications. The proposed acquisition could strengthen NVIDIA’s connection with the global AI developer community and expand its influence beyond computer chips.
