This entry covers a reported acquisition of Hugging Face by Nvidia. According to The Information (as cited in a Matt Wolfe video), Nvidia has agreed to buy Hugging Face, the open-source model repository. The headline URL gives a figure of roughly $12.9 billion. Neither company has confirmed the report in the material available, so terms, timing and status should be treated as unverified.
Hugging Face is a platform for hosting and sharing machine learning models, datasets and demo apps (Spaces). It is also known for open-source libraries such as Transformers.
