OSINT Profile

Jensen Huang co-founded NVIDIA in 1993 and has been its CEO since, building it into the world's most valuable company (~$5.5T market cap, 2026). He wrote the blog post announcing the ~$12.9B Hugging Face acquisition (2026-09-03): 'Together, we will scale Hugging Face's platform, strengthen its infrastructure and expand access to AI for developers and institutions worldwide' — committing to keep HF an open platform. NVIDIA agreed to acquire Hugging Face for ~$12.9B on 2026-09-03 ($11.9B to shareholders + up to $1B equity retention for HF employees joining NVIDIA; HF to remain an open platform; expected close H1 2027 pending regulatory approvals; antitrust runway + GPU-neutrality of the Hub are the live radar questions).
