Chip giantNvidia's(NVDA.US) new agreement to acquireHugging Facefor $12.93 billion is much more than the purchase of a website that hosts AI models. Nvidia has long dominated the AI chip market and the Cuda software ecosystem, while Hugging Face connects more than 18 million developers and about 200,000 companies with over 3 million models. If completed, the transaction will take Nvidia beyond its roots in computing infrastructure into model discovery, testing, downloading and deployment, bringing it closer to the gateway where companies decide which models to use and where to run them.
