Nvidia has been in talks to acquire Hugging Face, the popular AI platform for sharing and building with open-source models, in what could be one of the chip giant’s biggest deals yet. 英伟达一直在就收购Hugging Face进行谈判，该平台是一个广受欢迎的AI平台，用于共享和构建开源模型，这可能将成为这家芯片巨头迄今为止最大的交易之一。
The two parties have had acquisition conversations in recent weeks about a deal that would value Hugging Face at more than $13 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter. The companies have not yet reached a deal, and the talks could still fall apart, the person said. 据知情人士透露，近几周双方一直在就一项收购事宜进行磋商，该交易对Hugging Face的估值将超过130亿美元。该人士表示，双方尚未达成协议，谈判仍有可能破裂。
Nvidia and Hugging Face did not respond to requests for comment. 英伟达和Hugging Face均未回应置评请求。
Nvidia has increasingly ramped up dealmaking with its enormous cash pile. The company said Wednesday that it has 47.9 billion it already holds in private companies. 英伟达正凭借其庞大的现金储备日益加大并购力度。该公司周三表示，在本财年的剩余时间里，除已持有的479亿美元私营企业股份外，还将追加180亿美元用于股权投资。
Microsoft also met with Hugging Face, but the person familiar and a second person said talks are not ongoing. 微软也曾与Hugging Face进行过接触，但上述知情人士及另一位消息人士表示，相关谈判并未继续进行。
Nvidia already has a relationship with Hugging Face. The chipmaker participated in its 4.5 billion. 英伟达与Hugging Face已有合作基础。这家芯片制造商参与了其2023年2.35亿美元的融资，当时该公司的估值为45亿美元。
Hugging Face turned down a 7 billion, the Financial Times previously reported. Hugging Face said at the time it did not want a dominant investor that could sway decisions. 《金融时报》此前报道称，去年年底，Hugging Face拒绝了英伟达5亿美元的投资要约，该要约将使其估值达到70亿美元。Hugging Face当时表示，不希望有一个可能左右决策的控股投资者。
Hugging Face sits at the center of the open-source AI ecosystem, hosting millions of AI models and datasets that developers can build on. Owning the platform could give Nvidia a bigger foothold with those developers — and potentially drive more workloads onto its chips. Hugging Face处于开源AI生态系统的核心，托管着数百万个供开发者构建应用的AI模型和数据集。拥有该平台将为英伟达在这些开发者中赢得更大的立足点——并有可能将更多工作负载转移到其芯片上。
But Nvidia ownership could also complicate one of Hugging Face’s strengths: its neutrality. The platform supports models and hardware from across the industry, including Nvidia competitors such as AMD and Intel. 但英伟达的收购也可能使Hugging Face的一大优势变得复杂化：即其中立性。该平台支持来自整个行业的模型和硬件，包括英伟达的竞争对手AMD和英特尔。
