On Tuesday Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon Inc’s cloud computing branch, announced that it is teaming with startup Hugging Face, a software development hub, to make it simpler to perform artificial intelligence (AI) work on Amazon’s cloud. Both Tech companies hope to hasten the deployment of next-generation ML models by making them more available to the machine-learning community and assisting developers in achieving the best performance at the lowest possible cost. As Hugging Face and AWS collaborates to make AI widely available for developers, more companies can access generative AI much more easily.
Hugging Face, Inc. is an USA-based startup that creates tools for developing machine learning applications. Clément Delangue, Julien Chaumond, and Thomas Wolf launched the firm in 2016 with the intention of developing a chatbot app for teens. After open-sourcing the chatbot’s model, the firm shifted its focus to being a network for liberalising machine learning. It is most known for its Transformers library for NLP applications, as well as its platform for sharing machine learning models and datasets.
Hugging Face will use AWS as a preferred cloud provider through the strategic agreement, allowing developers in Hugging Face’s community to access AWS’s cutting-edge tools like AWS Trainium, Amazon SageMaker, AWS Inferentia to train, develop, fine-tune, and release models on AWS. While the agreement is not exclusive, the business is collaborating with Amazon to make it simple for AI developers to take code from the platform and execute it on the AWS cloud.
Clients can now fine-tune and deploy cutting-edge Hugging Face models in just a few minutes on Amazon SageMaker and Amazon Elastic Computation Cloud (EC2), leveraging purpose-built machine learning accelerators such as AWS Trainium and AWS Inferentia.
While new generative AI services from Alphabet Inc’s Google and Microsoft have attracted the public’s attention, tech companies such as AWS are competing behind the scenes to provide the tools and resources that software AI developers will need to weave comparable technology into their own products and services. Although generative AI has the ability to alter whole sectors, the technology’s high cost and necessary skill keep it out of reach for all but a few organizations. As Hugging Face and AWS collaborates to make AI widely available for developers, it can bring a massive change in this regard, as companies can now access AI software with much ease.
