Global AI Forum reported that NVIDIA structured Hugging Face for $12.93B for Hugging Face, an outright purchase.

The Global AI Forum is an independent research institution measuring how organisations and economies adopt artificial intelligence. Adoption is near universal. Measured outcomes are not. Both statements are true, because the field has no standard for what adoption means. A measure that cannot separate a tool somebody uses from a process that would stop without it is not a measure. It is a headline. We publish the record instead. Six standing research series, one a day, six days a week. The Radar maps one organisation at a time across the same six branches: what it owns, what it built, what it backed, what it is bound to, what it depends on, and the layer it has failed to secure. Failures documents AI programmes that did not work, each reduced to one structural cause and one test a buyer can apply before signing. The Landscape defines a category, segments it on a single axis, and puts a verified deployment maturity band on every box. Regulation tracks what actually binds an organisation today, sourced to the instrument, the article and the date. Deployments covers large companies running AI in production, at a scale that makes most enterprise AI look like a demonstration. Capital maps investors by round role rather than by portfolio page. Every claim carries its source. Every figure carries its base and its period. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say so. In 2027 the record becomes structured as the Use Case Genome: 220 AI use cases across eleven industries and eleven business functions, each answering the same questions in the same order. Everything we publish is free to read and free to cite. Global AI Forum is based in San Francisco. gaiforum.com
