Hugging Face
From CTPwiki
Hugging Face is a platform sharing tools, models, datasets, focused on democratizing AI. It is a sort of collaborative hub for an AI community, but it is also registered as a private company teaming up with, for instance, Meta to boost European startups in an "AI Accelerator Program". The company also collaborates with Amazon Web Services to allow users to deploy the trained and publicly available models in Hugging Face through Amazon SageMaker. Nasdaq Private Market lists a whole range of investors in Hugging Face (Amazon, Google, Intel, IBM, NVIDIA, etc.), and its estimated market value was $4.5 billion in 2023, which of course also reflects the high expertise the company has in managing models, hosting them, and making them available.
