Hugging Face CEO comments on Jensen Huang's departure: A sad day

Hugging Face CEO Clment Delangue briefly commented on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's departure on Thursday, calling it "a very sad day." Nvidia announced in September plans to acquire the open-source AI model platform for $12.9 billion, which would be the company's second-largest acquisition in history, after its $20 billion acquisition of chipmaker Groq's assets in December 2025. Delangue wrote: "The whole thing sucks, I wish it never happened. It's a very sad day! But I want to be clear: we will keep fighting for open-source AI, harder than ever. This is too important now to slow down. Let's go!"
