Hugging Face CEO Clement DeLange made a brief comment on the departure of Nvidia CEO Wong In-hoon on Thursday, calling it a “very sad day.” Nvidia announced in September that it plans to acquire this open source artificial intelligence model platform for $12.9 billion, which will be the second-largest acquisition in the company's history, after the $20 billion acquisition of chipmaker Groq's assets in December 2025. Dranger wrote, “The whole thing sucks, and I hope this never happened. It was a really sad day! But I want to be clear: we will continue to fight for open source AI, working harder than ever before. Now this matter is too important to slow down. Go for it!”
