Business Insider reported over the weekend that talks would value it around $13 billion or higher, roughly triple its 2023 Series D at $4.5 billion led by Salesforce Ventures (TechCrunch). The buyer is unidentified. CEO Clem Delangue previously turned down a $500 million Nvidia investment at a $7 billion valuation over concentrated investor influence, says the company is close to profitability, and describes a long-term responsibility to the community that trusts it with models and data. If HF gets acquired, a lot of default infrastructure choices become someone's strategic asset overnight.
