NVIDIA's Acquisition of Hugging Face Expected to Close
- NVIDIA expects its acquisition of Hugging Face to close in the first half of 2027, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals[1][4][5]
- At closing Hugging Face stockholders are to receive an approximately $11.9 billion purchase price, subject to adjustments, and Hugging Face employees joining NVIDIA an equity-based retention program of up to approximately $1.0 billion[1]
- NVIDIA signed the definitive agreement on 2 September 2026 and announced the deal the next day at $12,930,300,000[1][3]
- NVIDIA has committed to keep Hugging Face's platform open, letting model makers, developers and users upload and download the models and datasets they choose and supporting other silicon vendors[1]
- The filing adds a risk factor: governments may restrict open-source models, many of the most popular of which originated in China, which could hit the Hugging Face platform and NVIDIA's own business[1]
- NVIDIA's Justin Boitano said the only way for Hugging Face's user base to grow is to keep giving developers a choice of hardware and clouds, even though NVIDIA will benefit from the training and inference run on its chips[5]
- Hugging Face, founded in New York in 2016 by Clément Delangue, Julien Chaumond and Thomas Wolf, is headquartered at 20 Jay Street in Brooklyn[2]
