Nvidia is paying $12.9 billion for Hugging Face, and the investors on the desk this morning say the price is the least interesting part of it. Barbara Doran, Chief Executive Officer of BD8 Capital Partners LLC, reads it as a company preparing for a world it does not live in yet: Nvidia is “positioning themselves to be much more of an AI platform rather than just a supplier of chips,” and doing it now because chip demand will slow eventually, even if that day still looks distant.
Angelo Zino of CFRA Research explains why Hugging Face fits a company that stopped being a hardware business years ago, then flags the part nobody else is leading with. The deal is “still an if.”
