Thomas Wolf of Hugging Face on the Future of Open AI at Disrupt 2025 | TechCrunch
"The future of AI won't just be defined by closed labs and big tech budgets - it will be written in open-source repos, global research collaborations, and moonshot experiments that anyone can build on. Wolf brings a rare perspective on how to bridge research, community, and real-world applications in ways that shape both the technology and the ecosystem around it."
"Wolf has been at the center of some of the most important advances in AI. At Hugging Face, he helped launch the Transformers and Datasets libraries, led the BigScience Workshop on large language models that produced BLOOM, and has championed open science across industry and academia. He's also co-author of Natural Language Processing with Transformers and The Ultra-Scale Playbook, resources shaping how the next generation of AI practitioners learn and build."
