Nvidia (NVDA.O) has agreed to buy Hugging Face, a repository of open-source AI models, for $12.9 billion, The Information ​reported on Wednesday, citing a person with knowledge of the deal.

A ‌deal of that size would mark one of Nvidia's largest acquisitions to date and underscore how the Jensen Huang-led company at the center of the AI boom ​is betting that demand for the technology is expanding rather than ​peaking.

It would also give Nvidia control of Hugging Face - which ⁠hosts open-source large language models and datasets - at a time when builders ​of closed-source models such as Anthropic and OpenAI are seeking to create their own ​chips as an alternative to Nvidia's graphics processing units.

I mean yes, they can just take over everything, make it a paid service and only offer a few select models. we can also expect that

They can also make it better than it currently is. And use all hosted models for it's own purposes.

This might include making their proprietary poducts (hardware and software) better and harder to compete with.

Also they may analyze or fingerprint models to see what is being used.

They do not have to enshitify for this to be bad news.
