Clement Delangue

Clement Delangue turned a chatbot startup into the most important platform in open-source AI. Hugging Face hosts over 2 million models, serves 5 million AI builders, and is backed by NVIDIA, Google, Amazon, Intel, and IBM at a $4.5 billion valuation. Originally from France, Clement moved to New York and built Hugging Face into the central hub for the entire ML community. If you've ever downloaded a model, shared a dataset, or run an AI demo, you've probably used his platform.
