Hugging Face CEO on What Comes After Transformers

Clem Delangue‘s got some hot takes on AI, and he’s not afraid to share them.

Yesterday, the cofounder and CEO of Hugging Face, a popular large-language model repository, joined the company’s chief ethics scientist Margaret Mitchell and head of global policy Irene Solaiman to share their thoughts during a press briefing on the past year of AI and what’s coming next. The highlights included what comes after LLMs, the open-source versus closed-source debate, the influence of big tech and AI regulation. 

Delangue is someone to keep an eye on. He’s become a loud voice in the battle over whether to keep AI models private or host them in public, speaking at government-hosted events like Senator Chuck Schumer's AI Insight Forum. 

Here are the most important points from the briefing.
