Hugging Face and Google accomplice for open AI collaboration

At Hugging Face, we need to allow all firms to construct their very own AI, leveraging open fashions and open supply applied sciences. Our objective is to construct an open platform, making it straightforward for knowledge scientists, machine studying engineers and builders to entry the newest fashions from the neighborhood, and use them inside the platform of their alternative.
At the moment, we’re thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with Google Cloud to democratize good machine studying. We are going to collaborate with Google throughout open science, open supply, cloud, and {hardware} to allow firms to construct their very own AI with the newest open fashions from Hugging Face and the newest cloud and {hardware} options from Google Cloud.
A collaboration for open science
From the unique Transformer to the Imaginative and prescient Transformer, Google has revealed among the most vital contributions to open AI analysis and prompted the AI neighborhood to vary the World one mannequin at a time, with now over 1 million fashions, datasets and AI functions primarily based on transformer fashions hosted on Hugging Face.
Our strategic partnership will assist amplify efforts led by Google and Hugging Face to make the newest AI analysis extra accessible to the neighborhood.
A collaboration for open supply
From Tensorflow to JAX, Google has contributed among the most vital open supply instruments, enabling researchers and knowledge scientists to construct their very own AI fashions and create a virtuous cycle of mannequin efficiency enchancment by speedy iteration.
Our strategic partnership will speed up our collaboration to make the newest AI improvements simply accessible by Hugging Face open-source libraries, whichever framework you utilize.
A collaboration for Google Cloud prospects
At the moment, tons of of hundreds of Hugging Face customers are lively on Google Cloud each month, downloading fashions to create Generative AI functions.
Our strategic partnership will allow new experiences for Google Cloud prospects to simply practice and deploy Hugging Face fashions inside Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Vertex AI. Clients will profit from the distinctive {hardware} capabilities out there in Google Cloud, like TPU situations, A3 VMs, powered by NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs, and C3 VMs, powered by Intel Sapphire Fast CPUs.
A collaboration for Hugging Face Hub customers
Thousands and thousands of researchers, knowledge scientists, builders and AI hobbyists depend on the Hugging Face Hub each month to simply create and expertise the newest AI fashions and functions.
The fruits of our collaboration with Google in open science, open supply and Google Cloud shall be made out there to Hugging Face Hub customers and allow new experiences all through 2024. Fashions shall be simply deployed for manufacturing on Google Cloud with Inference Endpoints. AI builders will be capable of speed up their functions with TPU on Hugging Face Areas. Organizations will be capable of leverage their Google Cloud account to simply handle the utilization and billing of their Enterprise Hub subscription.
What’s subsequent
We are able to’t wait to make these new experiences out there to you. Keep tuned for bulletins beginning this quarter! For now, we depart you with a phrase from our CEOs:
“Google Cloud and Hugging Face share a imaginative and prescient for making generative AI extra accessible and impactful for builders. This partnership ensures that builders on Hugging Face can have entry to Google Cloud’s purpose-built, AI platform, Vertex AI, together with our safe infrastructure, which might speed up the subsequent technology of AI providers and functions,” says Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud.
“With this new partnership, we’ll make it straightforward for Hugging Face customers and Google Cloud prospects to leverage the newest open fashions along with main optimized AI infrastructure and instruments from Google Cloud together with Vertex AI and TPUs to meaningfully advance builders capacity to construct their very own AI fashions,” says Clement Delangue CEO of Hugging Face.
