NVIDIA buying Hugging Face is a great move. They see the future.
Think of Hugging Face as the GitHub of LLMs — thousands of open-source models businesses can choose from and run privately.
At CRM Experts Online we're already doing this today.
We use open-source, private LLMs to enrich thousands of records per day across multiple CRMs. Work that could cost us $100,000/month in API tokens costs us $0/month in tokens using our private LLM infrastructure.
But the bigger shift is what’s happening to CRM itself:
The CRM is becoming the system of record.
AI Agents are becoming the workers.
Instead of people spending their days updating records, researching accounts, enriching data and monitoring pipelines, AI Agents increasingly do that work directly inside Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho and other systems.
And those agents shouldn't be locked into one AI provider.
They should be able to choose the best model for each job — OpenAI, Claude, or an open-source model running privately on your own infrastructure or NVIDIA's infrastructure and GPUs.
More choice. More privacy. More control. Lower cost.
NVIDIA sees where enterprise AI is going.
