Hugging Face CEO mocks OpenAI: From AGI to teen chatbots
joeddav · x · 2026-08-19
Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue posted a contrasting tweet mocking OpenAI. He noted that in 2018, Hugging Face was building a chatbot for teens while OpenAI was working on Open AI; by 2026, the roles have reversed, with Hugging Face building Open AI and OpenAI seemingly retreating to building a teen chatbot. The comment is interpreted as satire regarding OpenAI's strategic pivot and commercialization.
