French entrepreneur and mathematician Julien Chaumond cofounded Hugging Face, a website that hosts millions of open-source models and datasets.
The startup was founded in 2016 in New York as a playful chatbot for teens, but the cofounders quickly realized the models powering the consumer app were more valuable than the app itself.
Today, 18 million developers and researchers and 200,000 organizations use the platform to build AI applications.
In September 2026, Nvidia agreed to acquire the company for $12.9 billion.
Before Hugging Face, he was an advisor on digital affairs for the French government.
