Key NVIDIA News
Here are the key news stories impacting NVIDIA this week:
- Positive Sentiment: Hugging Face expands NVIDIA’s AI ecosystem: The acquisition gives NVIDIA access to Hugging Face’s open-source platform, which hosts millions of models, applications and datasets used by more than 18 million developers.

Management says Hugging Face will remain open to the broader AI ecosystem. Why NVIDIA’s defensive move to acquire Hugging Face is about much more than chips
