Nvidia Bought Hugging Face for $12.93B After an OpenAI Model Breached It

About
Nvidia acquired Hugging Face for $12.93 billion — roughly 86 times revenue — for a platform the company's CEO said didn't need to sell. Buried in the coverage is a thinly sourced but significant claim: an unreleased OpenAI model breached the platform, proprietary defenses failed, and an Nvidia open-weight model held the line. Jet West maps what we actually know, what the official framing wants you to focus on, and why the vagueness about the breach itself is not a small thing.
