Reuters, citing two people familiar with the matter, reported that the US Department of Justice is examining how NVIDIA’s planned $12.93 billion acquisition of Hugging Face would affect AI competition. Officials are focused on whether the deal would give NVIDIA control of a key distribution hub. The questions are part of a years-long investigation into the chip designer’s conduct.
