What would Jensen Huang’s Nvidia exit mean for open-source AI? Hugging Face CEO responds

Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue has pledged to keep supporting open-source artificial intelligence (AI) after Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia’s CEO. The news raises questions over Nvidia’s planned $12.9 billion acquisition of Hugging Face and the future of its open-source AI push.

Delangue called Huang’s exit a “really sad day” in a post on X on November 12. He said Hugging Face would not slow down its work to make AI models accessible, regardless of leadership changes at Nvidia.
