Nvidia agreed to buy Hugging Face for $12.9B. The Information first, Reuters after.
Same Nvidia HF turned down last year at $7B, when they said they didn’t want one investor big enough to steer the company. Now the place that hosts basically every open-weight model belongs to the company that sells the GPUs those models run on.
In July someone ran a completely unrelated scenario through MiroShark ,open-source sim, agents arguing a situation out.
The simulation showcased the agents behalf of HF defended hard when their infrastructure was the thing at risk. The simulation basically showcased: even the open-source people pick institutional stability once their own position is on the line.
A simulation got the character of HF right a month early.
Simulations help bring to light how an actor would behave in a more psychological manner.
Hugging Face is Nvidia’s now.
Honest question: thoughts on the acquisition, and how advanced simulation has got to a point of understanding human psychology.
