TechHugging Face CEO warns U.S. curbs on Chinese open-source models could leave it behind

Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue says China is gaining an advantage in the artificial intelligence race through open-weight models. He argues that U.S. AI laboratories are developing in isolation, or “building in silos,” and could fall behind Chinese competitors. Delangue made the remarks to CNBC on Monday. His warning links restrictions on access to Chinese open-source models with a possible loss of competitive ground for the United States.
