- Co-founder and CEO, Hugging Face123
Clément Delangue co-founded Hugging Face with Julien Chaumond and Thomas Wolf and is its CEO. Hugging Face runs the Hub, where developers publish and download open models and datasets, and maintains open-source libraries such as Transformers; the 2019 paper introducing Transformers lists Delangue among its authors. Delangue's documented role is leading the company and its platform; this profile does not credit Delangue with writing the libraries or runtimes. NVIDIA's September 2026 announcement of its agreement to acquire Hugging Face describes Delangue considering the company's next chapter.12345
