Hugging Face is fielding acquisition offers near $13B, up from a $4.5B valuation in 2023
Business Insider reported over the weekend of 2026-08-24 that Hugging Face has been in talks that would value it around $13 billion or higher, roughly triple its 2023 Series D valuation of $4.5 billion led by Salesforce Ventures. TechCrunch notes the buyer is unidentified and that CEO Clem Delangue previously turned down a $500 million Nvidia investment at a $7 billion valuation over concerns about concentrated investor influence. Delangue says the company is close to profitability and describes a long-term responsibility to the community that trusts it with their models and data.
