Congrats to @dvilasuero & @argilla_io team on today's announcement that they're being acquired by @huggingface. They were one of @ClementDelangue & my earliest investments at Huggingfund by Factorial. Excited for them to continue to build community and data-centric open source AI https://t.co/NbDZNOEg1Q
