Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue briefly commented on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s departure on Thursday, calling it a “really sad day.” Nvidia had announced its plan to acquire the platform for open-source AI models in September for $12.9 billion, making it the second-largest acquisition in the company’s history, just behind that of chipmaker Groq’s assets for $20 billion in December 2025.
“This whole thing sucks, and I wish none of it had happened. It’s a really sad day! But I want to make one thing clear: we’ll keep fighting for open-source AI, harder than ever. This is too important to slow down now. Let’s go!,” Delangue wrote on X.
