Clément Delangueの戦略的方向性について、TheNextWeb公式の報道記事（https://thenextweb.com/news/hugging-face-exploring-sale-13bn-valuation）で確認できます。Existing P-04 reference already cites Hugging Face's $4.5 billion valuation; this finding is about a materially different, more recent event (a reported ~$13B sale exploration) and does not restate the earlier valuation as if it were new.具体的には「The number represents close to a tripling of the $4.5bn valuation Hugging Face carried after its last outside round, a $235mn raise in August 2023. Hugging Face has retained bankers to test the market for a sale at a valuation of $13bn or higher. As of November 2025, roughly half of the $400mn or so it had raised over its life remained unspent.」といった記載が確認できます。限界として、これは当該Source公表時点の方針表明であり、その後変更される可能性があります。 The article is dated August 2026 and notes that 'Neither Hugging Face nor its advisers have commented on the report,' meaning this is an unconfirmed market report rather than a company-confirmed transaction.Current Statusとして、2026年08月27日に当該Sourceを取得し、上記の内容を確認しました。Source種別としては、これは第三者であるTheNextWebによる報道であり、企業の自己申告とは性質が異なりますが、報道時点の取材内容に基づくものです。
