- Hugging Bay builds a BitTorrent backup for open AI models as Nvidia buys Hugging Face
A volunteer-built BitTorrent index for open AI models went online in July, weeks before Nvidia's $12.93 billion Hugging Face deal. Its design is credible. Its network is still too small to matter.
- Nvidia confirmed the Hugging Face deal and promised its compute stays optional
A week ago the acquisition was an unconfirmed report. Jensen Huang has now announced it himself, at $12,930,300,000, and committed that Nvidia compute will not be required to use Hugging Face.
- Nvidia may buy Hugging Face. Here is why that matters.
Nobody has confirmed a deal. What the report shows is where value is accumulating — the company that dominates AI hardware moving closer to the place developers go to find open models.
