Nvidia is now a humanoid robot designer. That's the real takeaway from this news. Nvidia is acquiring Hugging Face for $12.93B. Hugging Face is the largest open-model and dataset hub, the "GitHub of AI," with 3M+ models and 18M+ developers, robotics included. But here's the interesting part: Hugging Face... has a serious robotics team from its acquisition of Pollen Robotics, which designs and builds open-source hardware platforms for robots, including humanoids (Reachy). Pollen team now gets the backing of the world's most valuable company. $NVDAshow more

Can't convince me the duck being cute didn't have something to do with this.

What a win for open source

This turns NVIDIA’s robotics bet into something much bigger. Chips + models + datasets + open-source robot hardware is a serious stack.

they just couldn't help it

I think Pollen robotics is the actual takeaway. Open models plus hardware, that's big. If it becomes Nvidia only glue, meh.

Thinking very beautifully, but this transaction must pass antitrust review, consent, and approval from various countries. Do you think China will agree and approve it?

This is huge. Robotics teams, open hardware, 18 million developers. NVIDIA isn't just buying models, it's buying the entire builder ecosystem. That's where the real leverage is. We actually dug into this on our live earl

Owning the robotics datasets is not a side quest. Humanoids need the same hub gravity the LLM crowd already pays for.

This acquisition links software ecosystem with humanoid‑robot hardware, yet regulatory hurdles remain. Turning newly‑acquired teams into tangible products is far from guaranteed. 今天 19:15 英伟达收购Hugging Face的交易何时能完成？ 英伟达收购Hugging Face对人工智能行业有何影响？ 介绍一下Reachy人形机器人的技术特
