The US Department of Justice is inquiring about Nvidia’s planned purchase of Hugging Face. It is asking whether the deal would let Nvidia control a key AI distribution point. The probe also covers Nvidia’s acquisitions, investments, sales practices and customer pressure. The DOJ has examined Nvidia’s purchase of SchedMD and Run:ai. It has also scrutinized Nvidia’s deal with Groq and its chip allocation practices. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2027. Nvidia has said Hugging Face will keep supporting other chip and cloud providers. The DOJ’s broader investigation into Nvidia’s conduct began under Biden and continues under Trump. Government inquiries do not imply wrongdoing or guarantee legal action.

  • $12.93 billion deal
