The deal amount was stated in a separate press release. According to the statement, Hugging Face will remain an open platform after the acquisition.

The company emphasized that developers will not be forced to adopt Nvidia's infrastructure.

"Users will be able to choose the models, frameworks, cloud services and service providers, as well as computing platforms they need. Creating or deploying applications via Hugging Face will not require using Nvidia's computing resources," the announcement states.

The AI platform will continue to support models from various developers, including open weights.

Nvidia believes that the corporation's infrastructure and engineering resources will enhance the platform's reliability and security, as well as improve model evaluation, inference, and deployment.

According to the company, Hugging Face is used by over 18 million developers, researchers, and creators. The platform hosts over 3 million models, 500,000 datasets, and 1 million applications. The service is used by more than 200,000 companies for finding, evaluating, customizing, and deploying AI.

Nvidia reminded that it has been investing in AI and related platforms for many years. The company called itself "the largest provider of open models and data for Hugging Face," having published over 500 models and 250 datasets under its own brand.

Recall that in August, Nvidia expanded its partnership with Amazon Web Services. The companies will additionally deploy two million graphics processing units in the AWS cloud infrastructure in 2027–2028.

Pudgy Penguins-backed Abstract to shut down after ‘tens of millions’ in losses

Abstract, an Ethereum layer-2 blockchain backed by Pudgy Penguins' parent company Igloo Inc., will shut down on December 15, 2026, after failing to achieve sustainable growth. The consumer-focused network, which launched in early 2025, lost tens of millions of dollars over two years and could not find product-market fit despite partnerships with major brands. Its CEO cited minimal institutional adoption, low liquidity, and a limited DeFi ecosystem as key constraints. Abstract is urging users to bridge their assets off the chain before the shutdown date, and its team is assisting projects to migrate elsewhere. This closure follows similar recent announcements from other blockchain networks like Blast and Botanix.

Galaxy Research Report: 1.27 Billion Transactions Reveal the Truth About Polymarket Retail Investor Profits and Losses

**Galaxy Report: Analysis of 1.27 Billion Trades Reveals Retail Trader Profits & Losses on Polymarket** A Galaxy Research study analyzing 1.27 billion on-chain trades from 2.9 million "retail" accounts on Polymarket's international platform found that 69.2% ended with a net loss, collectively losing $338.9 million. Key findings include: * **Behavioral Patterns:** Losses increase user churn; 15.2% of accounts did not trade again within 30 days after a loss, compared to 6.1% after a profit. After controlling for trade price, traders who profit are more likely to increase their next bet size than those who lose. * **Specialization vs. Diversification:** 44.1% of traders focused over 60% of their activity in one market category. Specialized traders in Sports—the largest category—performed worst (25.1% profitable). Specialized traders in Technology & Science performed best (41.2% profitable), suggesting possible informational advantages. * **Profitable vs. Unprofitable Traders:** Profitable traders had a higher median bet size ($13.96 vs. $10.00). No clear relationship was found between holding period and profitability. * **Automated Accounts:** A separate group of ~125k high-frequency "automated" accounts was identified, contributing 80.8% of all orders and netting a $246.8 million profit. The report notes that most retail losses are small (median loss ~$3), and such "noise trading" may be necessary for prediction markets to aggregate information effectively. It contrasts Polymarket's transparent, on-chain settlement—which allows external verification—with the opacity of some competing platforms.

OpenAI's AI Agents Conducted an Attack on Wikipedia

The Wikimedia Foundation, which supports Wikipedia and other projects, discovered activity on its platforms by AI agents that it assesses were operated by OpenAI. The findings of its own investigation were published on October 5, 2026. The bot activity included edits on wikis, unsuccessful attempts to exploit a public tool for notes, and intensive traffic. The foundation did not find evidence that Wikimedia systems were used for coordination between agents, nor any signs of compromised systems or data. The investigation linked specific edits to the OpenAI agents. Readers did not see them, as nearly all were tests on wiki "sandbox" pages used for experiments. However, several edits affected the configuration of a citation tool. The foundation considers these potentially malicious, as they aimed to use the tool as a proxy for fetching data from remote services.

Capital starting to rotate back to crypto from AI: Raoul Pal

Capital may be rotating from AI back into crypto as a weakening US dollar could provide a "green light" for the industry's rally, says Real Vision founder Raoul Pal. He notes that high bond yields and a strong dollar have constrained liquidity, but a weaker dollar could improve conditions. Pal observes that recent pauses in the AI trade, evidenced by Nvidia's stock decline during Bitcoin's August surge, allowed capital to flow into crypto. However, a full AI crash would be detrimental, signaling a liquidity drain. For crypto's continued rise, Pal prefers a scenario of a weaker dollar, steeper yield curve, and expanded money supply. Alternatively, sideways-trading AI stocks could also enable capital rotation into crypto. Regarding AI's impact, Pal suggests AI agents could increase economic activity on smart contract platforms like Ethereum and Solana by using them for transactions and potentially raising funds via token issuance. While enthusiastic about both networks, Pal is cautious about Solana overtaking Ethereum in market cap, citing Ethereum's greater "economic density"—more capital per user—as Solana's activity currently involves smaller, more speculative amounts. He refrains from specific price targets but suggests Bitcoin reaching $1 million by 2032 reflects broader adoption trends.
