I wonder if OpenRouter being acquired was a catalyst for this deal.

Brilliant replacement of http://build.nvidia.com to increase developer reach and deployment of nvidia open models!

Nvidia overpaid for Hugging Face.

This acquisition should be blocked (and never will sadly), they now have both the incentive and the ability to influence a platform that's supposed to be hardware agnostic (and built trust over that) toward CUDA stack

Microsoft did the exact same with github, acquired stack agnostic platform, and turned it into a copilot/azure one

Its becoming impossible to track all the acquisitions.

Time to fork it and build a new place for true open source.

Nvidia has already a good free offer with Nim and a lot of compute power available. Plus, they obviously have interest in spreading open models culture.

So is the next step to just basically create a cloud business.

they basically own chips - data centers - discovery etc?
