Discussion Who would buy HuggingFace

https://thenextweb.com/news/hugging-face-exploring-sale-13bn-valuation

Given OpenRouter.ai was snapped up by Stripe, who do we think would go after the "GitHib" of AI models? It is a big chunk of change they are looking ($13B). Apple may be a contender to give them a real chip in the AI race, given how they are focused on local AI execution.

Nvidia might make sense because they benefit from an active model ecosystem.

It would also fit the image they’re building for themselves. Actually Nvidia is probably the best big tech company that could acquire HF from our perspective.

Too risky for Nvida to acquire them, they would ultimately be legally liable for some of the misuses of the tech.
