🤖 Nvidia + Hugging Face makes NVDA the open-source AI champion
By acquiring Hugging Face, Nvidia becomes America's leading open-source AI provider and a direct competitor to the OpenAI/Anthropic frontier duopoly for enterprise compute and tokens — selling full vertical racks at 80-90% lower token cost because it monetizes hardware, not inference.

“You have very significant competition, not just from the Chinese, but you have Jensen and NVIDIA, you have also Microsoft, Satya, Google, and Muse at Zuckerberg's house. They're all embracing open-source models and they all have hosting now.”
“I believe right now, starting today, NVIDIA is the number one competitor for OpenAI and Anthropic, not just for tokens, but for enterprise compute. And I think now Jensen is the leading open source provider in America. ... He's going to catch up and blow past China and the Chinese models, I think, by the end of 2027”
“This Hugging Face thing will go down as one of the most important transactions in AI. Because you are creating now in the largest competitor and the largest most well-capitalized company a bulwark against all of this closed-source oligopoly insanity.”
