Open platform language on the acquisition post
Confirmed on NVIDIA’s acquisition post: builders keep choice of models, frameworks, clouds, inference providers, and compute — NVIDIA compute is explicitly not required.

- NVIDIA states Hugging Face will remain an open platform for the entire AI ecosystem, with developers choosing models, frameworks, clouds, inference providers, and computing platforms.
- The post says NVIDIA compute will not be required to build on or deploy through Hugging Face, and that HF will keep supporting open-source/open-weight models plus multi-cloud and multi-accelerator development.
Why it mattersAcquisition fear in open ecosystems is lock-in; NVIDIA put an anti-lock-in paragraph on the announcement itself.
