NVIDIA has agreed to acquire Hugging Face. Together, we will scale Hugging Face’s platform, strengthen its infrastructure and expand access to AI for developers and institutions worldwide.
You know how some people can download and run smaller AIs on their video card in their home computer or like, at a small business? Huggingface is the repository for those, basically. Big names like DeepSeek and Qwen post their open-weight models on there for you to download. Even Google does it. Then there is a community of people who de-censor models and/or finetune them for a lot of useful shit (like specializing them for technical knowledge) or turning them into gooner bots for digital boyfriends/girlfriends.
It is to text-based models what civitAI is to image-based models.
