据多方报道,英伟达已同意以129亿美元收购Hugging Face,这笔交易将使这家全球领先的AI芯片制造商掌控业界大量开源模型开发实际发生的软件层。Hugging Face常被称为“AI界的GitHub”,是开发者用来查找、分享和部署机器学习模型及数据集的平台。
据报道的收购价格几乎是Hugging Face在2023年融资轮中45亿美元估值的三倍,英伟达当时也参与了那轮融资,与谷歌和Salesforce一同投资。据报道,英伟达今年早些时候曾提出以约5亿美元收购一部分股权,估值为70亿美元,但被Hugging Face拒绝。以Hugging Face约1.5亿美元的估计年收入计算,新报价相当于约86倍营收。
若交易完成,这将超过英伟达2020年以69亿美元收购网络公司Mellanox的交易,成为其迄今最大规模的收购,也将标志着这家主要靠销售图形处理器建立起万亿美元市值的公司在战略上的转变。截至最新报道,双方均尚未正式签署或宣布该协议。
