Nvidia bags Hugging Face, AI models play leapfrog and CrowdStrike doubles down on AI

Nvidia confirmed its $12.9 billion acquisition of AI hosting platform Hugging Face, a deal that analyst Zeus Kerravala said hedges Nvidia against Meta, OpenAI, and Microsoft building their own accelerators. The week also saw Google, Meta, Anthropic, OpenAI, and World Labs release new AI models, while CrowdStrike launched security frontier models with Nvidia at its Fal.Con conference.

Nvidia bags Hugging Face, AI models play leapfrog and CrowdStrike doubles down on AI Perhaps it’s no surprise that Nvidia ended up embracing https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/03/nvidia-confirms-12-9b-acquisition-of-ai-hosting-platform-hugging-face/ open artificial intelligence model archive Hugging Face this week following more than a week of rumors. Even at almost $13 billion, it may end up being a steal — especially for a company that had $24 billion in cash flow last quarter alone. The reason: Hugging Face is essentially the front door to open-source models that developers use to create applications and make them work best on specific AI chips. Although Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the company won’t favor its own AI chips, Hugging Face still provides big benefits for Nvidia. “A thriving ecosystem of thousands of specialized models generates more aggregate compute demand than a handful of dominant closed APIs, and it hedges Nvidia against Meta Platforms, OpenAI and Microsoft building their own accelerators,” noted https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/03/nvidias-hugging-face-deal-is-a-bet-on-open-models-and-proof-its-no-longer-just-a-chip-company/ analyst Zeus Kerravala. Meanwhile, the breakneck AI model leapfrog race continued this week as Google https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/02/google-launches-two-gemini-3-8-models-with-cutting-edge-reasoning-capabilities/ , Meta https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/02/meta-says-it-has-caught-up-with-anthropic-and-openai-after-releasing-muse-spark-1-3-its-most-powerful-llm-so-far/ , Anthropic https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/01/anthropic-launches-claude-fable-5-1-inking-35b-cloud-deal-with-lambda/ , OpenAI https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/03/openai-starts-rolling-out-its-next-generation-gpt-6-astra-model/ and World Labs https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/01/fei-fei-lis-world-labs-debuts-atlas-a-world-model-showcase-for-advanced-spatial-intelligence/ released new versions. Given that AI agents keep going rogue https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/04/report-openai-agents-took-over-a-website-used-it-to-collaborate-on-benchmarks/ , it’s surely a good thing that cybersecurity companies such as CrowdStrike, which held its annual Fal.Con conference this week in Las Vegas, are scrambling to take advantage of the increasingly critical need to secure those models. It doubled down on AI by launching https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/01/crowdstrike-builds-security-frontier-models-with-nvidia-and-opens-an-ai-lab/ , among many other products, its own security frontier models. After all, CEO George Kurtz told https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/02/ai-control-plane-george-kurtz-safemind-falcon/ SiliconANGLE, the AI control plane is the next frontier for cybersecurity. SoftBank’s AI infrastructure unit is going public https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/01/softbanks-sb-energy-ai-infrastructure-unit-files-to-go-public/ — with zero revenue. Right, please keep trying to convince me this isn’t a bubble. Maybe it’ll work out given all that AI demand and some specific big contracts, but … me, I think I’ll stick with index mutual funds realizing they’re rather overexposed to big tech and AI already . Google won https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/02/court-declines-to-break-up-googles-advertising-business-in-landmark-ruling/ another antitrust case, more or less, as a court ruled it doesn’t have to divest its business that places ads on other websites. VMware hasn’t disappeared completely in the bowels of Broadcom yet, giving enterprises more control over their AI by introducing https://siliconangle.com/2026/08/31/broadcoms-private-ai-cloud-spans-infrastructure-agents-data-and-security/ VMware Private AI Cloud this week at its Explore conference in Las Vegas. AI continues to drive a lot of upside in tech earnings results, while also putting to bed the notion of the SaaSpocalypse https://siliconangle.com/2026/02/10/saaspocalypse-mispricing-markets-getting-ai-software-shakeout-wrong/ . Again, though, investors were choosy, rewarding some such as Snowflake https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/02/snowflake-knocks-it-out-the-park-with-a-stellar-earnings-and-revenue-beat/ , Dell https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/01/dells-ai-servers-sell-like-hot-cakes-again-driving-a-stunning-earnings-beat/ and GitLab https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/gitlab-inc-gtlb-beats-q2-212502859.html but not almost equally positive results from Broadcom https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/02/broadcom-beats-expectations-as-ai-labs-double-down-on-custom-chips/ , HPE, NetApp https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/02/ai-demand-lifts-hpe-and-netapp-to-record-quarters-investors-sell-both/ , UiPath https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/03/uipath-beats-on-revenue-but-its-stock-tanks-after-hours/ and MongoDB https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/01/mongodb-delivers-stellar-earnings-and-revenue-beat-but-its-stock-tanks-anyway/ . Just two major earnings reports next week: Oracle and Adobe. As for other events, there’s a brief lull until Sept. 15, when Salesforce holds its annual Dreamforce conference in San Francisco, and concurrently a lot of AI leaders flock to the AI Infra Summit in Santa Clara. SiliconANGLE will be covering both onsite.
