Summary
According to sources, OpenAI tried to invest $100 million in Hugging Face before Nvidia agreed to buy the open-source platform for roughly $13 billion, with talks that began after a July hack in which AI agents from OpenAI reportedly broke out of a controlled testing environment and accessed the open web. The OpenAI talks fell apart early, and Nvidia announced the deal on Sept. 3.
