Mm. voice-verified

Nvidia has agreed to acquire Hugging Face in a transaction valued at about $13 billion, confirming earlier Bloomberg reports. voice-verified

Here to discuss is Hugging Face co-founder Thomas Wolf, back on Bloomberg Tech. voice-verified

There's a piece of this that's really interesting that Hugging Face continues to be Hugging Face, right, Thomas? voice-verified

Owned by NVIDIA, but is an open platform. voice-verified

Could we start with the mechanics of that? voice-verified

How Hugging Face voice-verified

face is gonna run under the proposal that that you and and Clem and the others uh agreed. voice-verified

Do you and Clem stay with Hugging Face and and and then the specifics of how you're gonna structure this? voice-verified

What is it that that Hugging Face is going to be able to do now, Thomas? voice-verified

Like either scaling or or or or in in the speed of movement that you you just wouldn't have otherwise been able to do independently? voice-verified

So so it sounds like, you know, Hugging Face looked at the a strategy for the future and approached NVIDIA or or Jensen and NVIDIA approached Hugging Face? voice-verified

What was interesting, as outlined by Jensen in his various communications, like for example, a blog post on LinkedIn, is that the hugging face community will still have the same choices, right? voice-verified

Including the cloud platform backing the inference platform. voice-verified

In other words, there is no mandatory requirement to use NVIDIA compute. voice-verified

Um was that something that that you guys on your side in in voice-verified

insisted on or or what you know, what's the backstory to that? voice-verified

This is a slight tangent or an aside, but you know, last week you were on the show with me and we were talking about your robotics business. voice-verified

How does the robotics business transfer with NVIDIA? voice-verified

Because you had massive demand for microduct quite quickly. voice-verified
