Open-weight AI companies are the Valley’s hottest acquisition targets
📍 Aftermath
Coverage in late August noted that Nvidia was reportedly pursuing a purchase of the open‑source AI startup Hugging Face, whose annualized revenue had risen 50% to $150 million. The same reports highlighted a $250,000 investment by Kevin Durant that was said to have ballooned to an estimated $60 million, and a claim that Nvidia was interested in acquiring a hacked company for $12.9 billion.
The story then fell silent without a confirmed acquisition or final outcome.
