AI Entrepreneur & Open-Source Advocate; CEO & Co-Founder of Hugging Face; TIME100 AI Honoree
Clément Delangue Biography
Clément Delangue is a French entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of Hugging Face, a prominent company in the artificial intelligence and machine learning industry. Under Delangue's leadership, Hugging Face evolved from a chatbot startup into a central platform for machine learning research and deployment, often referred to as the GitHub of AI. Delangue is recognized as an advocate for open-source AI and the democratization of artificial intelligence technology. Before co-founding Hugging Face, Delangue was among the first French professional sellers on eBay at age 17 and co-founded several startups, including UniShared and VideoNot.es.
Delangue began his career in product at Moodstocks, a computer vision and machine learning startup acquired by Google. Alongside Julien Chaumond and Thomas Wolf, he launched Hugging Face in New York as a chatbot app for teenagers. After open-sourcing the underlying model, the company pivoted to a platform for sharing machine learning models and datasets. Delangue also served as chief product officer and chief marketing officer at Mention, contributing to the growth of one of Europe's notable SaaS startups and expanding its presence in the United States. Delangue's background in business, product management, and growth has been instrumental in building Hugging Face into a global AI platform.
A significant milestone for Hugging Face was the release of "Transformers," an open-source library that provided access to pre-trained AI models for natural language processing. This development lowered barriers for developers, enabling them to fine-tune and deploy advanced AI models efficiently. Hugging Face's platform now hosts millions of models, applications, and datasets, serving a large community of developers. The company has secured substantial funding from investors including Salesforce Ventures, Google, Amazon, IBM, and Nvidia.
Delangue was selected for TIME magazine's TIME100 AI list and recognized as a global AI leader. He has advocated for open-source AI in government forums, including providing written testimony before the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology at a hearing on "Artificial Intelligence: Advancing Innovation Towards the National Interest." Delangue has appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation" to discuss open AI models and co-signed an open letter with industry leaders urging support for open models.
Nvidia announced an agreement to acquire Hugging Face for $12.93 billion, with Delangue emphasizing the importance of resources, scale, and visibility for open-source AI. Nvidia stated that Hugging Face would retain its brand and remain an open platform, independent of specific hardware requirements. Throughout his career, Delangue has consistently promoted the accessibility of artificial intelligence, supporting the growth of open-source AI for developers and enterprises worldwide.
