Super happy to share our intention to join forces with NVIDIA in a $12,930,300,000 acquisition 💛💚

10 years after starting Hugging Face, open-source AI is at an inflection point. Thanks to the community, we’ve shown that it can be a complement, and even an alternative, to closed-source APIs. But for it to happen at larger scale, it needs more compute, more support, more collaboration and more visibility. That’s why we went to talk to Jensen, who offered to do exactly that with us.

In addition to doubling down on NVIDIA’s massive contributions to open-source AI (I called them the “King of American open-source AI” earlier this year), they’ve committed to strongly supporting Hugging Face and our mission while keeping the platform open, independent and compute agnostic. The founders and the team are all staying to keep pushing this mission forward.

Together, we think we can make open source the default way to build AI, with the goal of empowering 100 million AI builders to own their intelligence rather than rent it.

Excited about the next 10 years! 🤗🤗🤗

At 250 billion DNS cache entries, one wasted byte costs 250 GB of RAM.

Five Rust optimizations later: 100 TB freed, inserts 43% faster, lookups 19% faster.

We didn't trade speed for space. https://t.co/mMyOYnj0mQ

Cursor is now part of @SpaceX.

Today, we have officially closed our acquisition. We will join the @SpaceXAI team to help make Grok the world's most useful AI and improve Grok Build, Grok Bot, Grok API, Cursor, and more.

SpaceX has built some of the most inspiring and impressive technology in the world, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to become part of such a special company. Onwards.

The real issue facing our nation is how to create jobs for our massive cohort of youth in this very uncertain global landscape.

Sadly, the IT industry, including Zoho, have not created many jobs in recent years. We have not laid off people but we are not creating new jobs either.

The money that would have gone to new employees is now going to AI and data center costs, the latter due to the steep rise in server and memory prices. We are trying to control those costs but a lot of that is out of our control.

While AI allows us to produce more software quicker, does the over-saturated global software market need a lot more software? Like any commodity industry, the focus shifts to quality, reliability, brand and so on and growth will be much slower.

Software customers (large and mid-sized enterprises) also have redireced their own IT spending towards AI. Even the AI companies which are growing very rapidly are borrowing and spending huge amounts of money in capex, and it is not clear they will achieve the massive profits they need to justify all the capex.

What other industry can pick up the slack? Extensive automation means that large scale manufacturing produces few jobs.

As an economic thinker, this is a good thing: ultimately all kinds of goods, including advanced tech products become very affordable because production becomes so cheap. The "only" question is how the economy is structured so people have the income to afford those affordable goods.

That "only" question, simple in theory, is not easy in practice. Some people think the answer is Universal Basic Income (UBI) and some of that is already happening in India (we call them freebies). We can expect the political pressure to do a lot more.

Is there a better answer? Continued ...

A proud moment for every Indian!

Delighted that Sarnath in Uttar Pradesh has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Sarnath has a close association with Lord Buddha, whose timeless message of wisdom, compassion and harmony inspires the world.

This recognition celebrates India’s profound civilisational and spiritual heritage. It will also inspire more people across the world to come to Sarnath and connect with the ideals of Lord Buddha.

One thing is clear: the Delhi protesters want to plunge India into chaos, and stop the nation's progress. We must defeat this malicious agenda, which is aided and abetted by powers that want to destroy India.

We have a vibrant democracy and elections are the proper way to express our collective judgment.

Once we have completed our review for security vulnerabilities, we will make the entire codebase of 𝕏 open source, with no exceptions.

Moreover, we will invite third party reviewers to examine the system that is running to confirm that the open source code is what is running.

Trust through total transparency is the only thing that should be believed.

Happy Birthday America!

If I was born in any other country I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wasn’t born into wealth. I shouldn’t be MrBeast. This country gave me the freedom to chase my dreams and mindset that I can achieve anything. America isn’t perfect but dam I love her 🇺🇸

Typical coding day with Claude (Opus 4.8)

- explain to Claude the task (5 minutes)
- Claude implements task (10 minutes)

me: "Why is this necessary?"
Claude: "You're right to push back! I over-engineered this!"
