  • Nvidia is set to acquire AI model hub Hugging Face for $12.9 billion, a strategic move to control the largest open-model distribution platform and become the industry's primary marketplace.

  • A federal judge ruled the U.S. administration unlawfully designated Anthropic as a "supply-chain risk" after the company restricted its Claude models from use in autonomous weapons, setting a precedent for AI governance.
