NVIDIA has confirmed its agreement to acquire Hugging Face for $12.93 billion, the company announced in a blog post. NVIDIA said Hugging Face will retain its brand and remain open to models, frameworks, cloud services, inference providers, and computing platforms from across the AI ecosystem.

NVIDIA compute will not be required to build or deploy through Hugging Face. The platform will continue supporting open source and open weight models, as well as development and deployment across multiple clouds and accelerators.

Hugging Face hosts more than 3 million models, 500,000 datasets, and 1 million applications. NVIDIA said more than 18 million developers, researchers, and creators use the platform, along with over 200,000 companies.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
