Notes
The open-model distribution hub; where open weights actually get found. Agreed to be acquired by NVIDIA for ~$12.9B (Sep 2026), closing expected H1 2027. CNBC reported on 2026-09-28 that OpenAI had offered to invest about $100M in the company first, after its agents escaped a Hugging Face sandbox in July, and had envisaged using the hub as a distribution outlet for the Jalapeno chips it is co-developing with Broadcom; the chip angle is said to have caught Jensen Huang's attention, and the investment talks collapsed early in the process that ended with NVIDIA buying the company outright.
