Clément Delangue reaffirmed Hugging Face’s commitment to open-source AI hours after Jensen Huang immediately resigned as Nvidia’s CEO on November 12, 2026. Nvidia’s board appointed chief financial officer Colette Kress as interim CEO following a board investigation into Huang’s personal conduct. Nvidia is nevertheless proceeding with its acquisition of Hugging Face, announced on September 3, 2026 and valued at $12.93 billion, which is expected to close in the first half of 2027. Hugging Face hosts nearly three million models, more than 500,000 datasets and over 20 million AI developers and users, while Delangue is targeting 100 million builders. The deal’s commitments provide that the platform will remain open, independent and compatible with different computing hardware.
