Question
Nvidia to buy Hugging Face for $12.93B; Q2 revenue +106% and Vera CPU targets flagged
Direct answer
The Motley Fool reported Nvidia's $12.93 billion acquisition of Hugging Face on Sept 3, 2026, which gives Nvidia control of a widely used open-source AI platform with millions of developers. The same coverage notes Nvidia's strong Q2 with 106% revenue growth and management's Vera CPU revenue targets of $20 billion by 2026 and more than doubling in fiscal 2028, underscoring expansion into server CPU and platform software. This combination of software platform ownership and CPU roadmap can shift expectations for long-term TAM and justify multiple expansion for NVDA while intensifying competitive dynamics for AMD and Intel. — bearish pressure on AMD.
