🤖 Nvidia just bought AI's front door
Nvidia is acquiring Hugging Face for roughly $12.9B, the platform where 18M developers and 200K companies ship open models.
Jensen Huang says it stays open and hardware-neutral.
But the company that makes the chips now owns the distribution layer everyone builds on.
Closed labs are designing their own silicon while Nvidia locks up the open ecosystem, that is not a coincidence.
Watch how fast "open and neutral" quietly becomes "open and Nvidia-first."
