Ngokombiko we-Business Insider wanamuhla, uNvidia ubexoxisana ngokuthenga i-Hugging Face, okungaholela kwesinye sezivumelwano ezinkulu kunazo zonke uNvidia ake wazenza.
Ngokusho komuntu onolwazi ngalolu daba, la maqembu womabili abe nezingxoxo ezibucayi mayelana nesivumelwano sokuthenga emasontweni ambalwa adlule. Lesi sivumelwano sizokwenza inani le-Hugging Face lidlule kuzigidigidi ezingu-13 zama-dollar (inothi: cishe ama-yuan ayizigidi eziyinkulungwane ezingu-87.592 ngokwesilinganiso samanje sokushintshanisa imali). Lo muntu uthe lezi zinkampani zombili azikafinyeleli esivumelwaneni, futhi izingxoxo zisengabhidlika.
UNvidia ne-Hugging Face abaphendulanga ezicelweni zokuphawula.
Lo mbiko uphinde wathi uMicrosoft uke wahlangana ne-Hugging Face, kodwa umuntu onolwazi ngalolu daba uthe izingxoxo azikakaqhubeki.
Ngokombiko wangaphambilini we-Financial Times yase-United Kingdom, ekupheleni konyaka odlule i-Hugging Face yenqaba isicelo sokutshalwa kwezimali esingu-500 million zama-dollar esivela kuNvidia (cishe ama-yuan ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-3.369 ngokwesilinganiso samanje sokushintshanisa imali). Lesi sicelo besizokwenza inani lenkampani lifinyelele kuzigidigidi ezingu-7 zama-dollar (cishe ama-yuan ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-47.165 ngokwesilinganiso samanje sokushintshanisa imali). Ngaleso sikhathi i-Hugging Face yathi ayifuni umtshali-zimali omkhulu ongathonya izinqumo.
I-Hugging Face igcina izigidi zamamodeli e-AI namasethi edatha angasetshenziswa onjiniyela ukwakha. Ukuba nale nkundla kunganikeza uNvidia indawo eqinile phakathi kwalaba njiniyela, futhi kungase kudlulisele eminye imithwalo yomsebenzi kuma-chip ayo.
Kodwa ubunikazi bukaNvidia bungase busongele enye yezinzuzo ze-Hugging Face, okuwukungathathi hlangothi. Le nkundla isekela amamodeli ne-hardware yemboni yonke, kuhlanganise nezimbangi zikaNvidia ezifana ne-AMD ne-Intel.
Ngokombiko we-The Information waleli sonto, i-Hugging Face isiba buthule inkundla efana ne-GitHub emhlabeni wezobunhloli bokwenziwa. Izinga lokukhula kwemali engenayo yonyaka likhule ngo-50% ezinyangeni ezimbili kuphela, ladlula ku-150 million zama-dollar (cishe ama-yuan ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1.011 ngokwesilinganiso samanje sokushintshanisa imali).
Lo mbiko uthi imali engenayo ye-Hugging Face yafinyelela cishe ku-70 million zama-dollar ngo-2023 (cishe ama-yuan ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-0.472 ngokwesilinganiso samanje sokushintshanisa imali), yacishe yaba ngu-130 million zama-dollar ngo-2024 (cishe ama-yuan ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-0.876 ngokwesilinganiso samanje sokushintshanisa imali), futhi manje isingaphezu kuka-150 million zama-dollar (cishe ama-yuan ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1.011 ngokwesilinganiso samanje sokushintshanisa imali). Lokhu kusho ukuthi inkampani icishe yayiphinda kabili imali engenayo esikhathini esingaphansi kweminyaka emibili.
I-Hugging Face isebenzisa imodeli yebhizinisi yamahhala kanye nenani elengeziwe, lapho cishe u-3-5% wabasebenzisi beguqukela ezinhlelweni ezikhokhelwayo. Lezi zinhlelo zinikeza amakhono athuthukisiwe ezimweni zokusetshenziswa okuphezulu nemisebenzi yezinkampani. Le nkundla igcina amakhulu ezinkulungwane zamamodeli, isebenzela amashumi ezinkulungwane ezinhlangano, futhi amakhasimende akhokhayo asefike ngaphezu kuka-2,000.
