DOJ asks about Nvidia's $12.9B Hugging Face deal

The Justice Department is probing Nvidia's Hugging Face purchase. Plus: Google's AI Mode ads, GitHub Copilot Fusion, and Gemini's Connected Apps.

The US Justice Department is asking how Nvidia's $12.9B Hugging Face purchase would affect AI competition.

Reuters reports the DOJ is asking whether the deal would hand Nvidia a key distribution point for AI models, and how it would affect rivals. The questions run alongside a years-long probe into Nvidia's conduct. This is an inquiry, not a challenge to the deal, and the reports cite sources rather than an official filing.

Our take

Hugging Face is where most open models are shared, so regulators asking who controls it is a signal about how open AI gets governed.
