This is a supply-chain problem, not M&A theater.

This is a supply-chain problem, not M&A theater. If Nvidia does buy Hugging Face, a single corporate owner would concentrate control over model cards, weights, and community distribution. Treat those artifacts like build dependencies: mirror the files you use, add integrity checks, and run an outage and license-change drill for production models. Start with a replicated store and verification pipeline; you'll thank yourself if terms or availability shift overnight.
