TechCrunch AI · rss · 2026-07-10
TechCrunch interviewed Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue about "why companies are no longer renting their AI."
The article notes that open-source AI is growing rapidly, with Hugging Face becoming the GitHub of the AI space for sharing and downloading open models and datasets, currently used by about half of the Fortune 500. Delangue states he repeatedly sees the same pattern: enterprises initially adopt rented AI before gradually shifting toward more open, controllable solutions.
