Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, October 24, 2026 —
Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue predicted at the Miami AI Summit in Coral Gables that a majority of companies will move from using artificial intelligence tools to building AI systems within two years. He also advocated for open-source solutions and a decentralized AI sector.
The prediction describes a potential shift in how companies engage with AI: from consuming tools developed by others to taking a more active role in building them. The trend summary did not specify when Delangue made the forecast, which industries or companies he was referring to, or what he considers a transition to becoming an AI builder.
Delangue’s support for open-source solutions and a decentralized sector accompanied the forecast. The summary does not provide further details about the approaches he recommended, or how those ideas relate to the predicted shift.
The summit took place in Coral Gables, and the trend summary characterizes Miami as a growing tech hub. It does not provide evidence or additional measures of the city’s technology-sector growth, nor does it describe how the summit or Delangue’s remarks may affect that development.
No specific companies, timelines beyond the two-year forecast, or examples of planned AI projects were identified in the available information. The prediction is therefore presented as Delangue’s outlook, rather than as a confirmed account of companies’ future plans. Further details about the forecast’s basis and the meaning of “AI builders” were not provided.
