In 2023, AWS announced a expanded collaboration with Hugging Face to speed up our clients’ procedures generative artificial intelligence (AI) journey. Hugging Face, founded in 2016, is the leading AI platform with over 500,000 open source models and over 100,000 datasets. Over the past year, we've partnered to facilitate the training, tuning, and deployment of Hugging Face models using Amazon SageMaker, AWS TrainiumAnd AWS Inference. Developers using Hugging Face can now optimize performance and reduce costs to bring generative AI applications to production faster.
We are excited to announce a North America Generative AI Roadshow where you can meet experts from Hugging Face and AWS, learn about the latest developments in Generative AI, and gain hands-on tuning experience and deployment of base models. As part of this roadshow, Julien Simonchief evangelist at Hugging Face, will visit eight AWS headquarters across North America between April and June.
