Amid widespread discussions about an emerging AI investment frenzy, Clem Delangue, CEO of Hugging Face, argues that the current hype is concentrated around large language models (LLMs). He suggests this may be a temporary bubble specific to this technology, rather than AI as a whole.

“I believe we’re in an LLM bubble, and it might start to burst next year,” Delangue stated during an Axios event, as reported by TechCrunch. “But LLMs are just one part of AI. The broader field includes applications in biology, chemistry, image processing, audio, and video. We’re only at the beginning of this expansive AI journey.”

Recent debates have focused on the surge in funding for companies centered on LLMs and the infrastructure supporting these models, especially chatbots designed for universal use. Experts emphasize that AI’s potential extends far beyond these systems, encompassing diverse sectors that could revolutionize industries in the coming years.
