This month, we spotlight the co-founder of Hugging Face!
Not all start-ups are lucky enough to be supported by NBA star Kevin Durant but this is what Clément Delangue (12), who co-founded Hugging Face, can boast of. The Franco-American company based in New York has just raised $40M for its ambitious project: pooling the strengths of researchers and companies to develop a better understanding of natural language by algorithms, by opting for an open-source approach. According to Clément, "a single company, even among the GAFA, will not be able to produce this fantastic advance for humanity that is the understanding of human language by machines. Working with the whole community is for us the only solution to get there." Congratulations to him for this achievement!
