Amazon's Cloud Unit Partners With ML Hub Hugging Face For More Accessible AI

Amazon.com Inc's AMZN cloud computing arm Amazon Web Services collaborated with Hugging Face to make AI open and accessible to all.
The companies aimed to contribute next-generation models to the global AI community and democratize machine learning.
Hugging Face will leverage AWS as a preferred cloud provider, so developers in Hugging Face's community can access AWS's state-of-the-art tools like Amazon SageMaker, AWS Trainium, and AWS Inferentia to train, fine-tune, and deploy models on AWS.
The collaboration will help developers optimize their models' performance for specific use cases while lowering costs.
Hugging Face will apply the latest innovative research findings using Amazon SageMaker to build next-generation AI models. Together, Hugging Face and AWS are bridging the gap so the global AI community can benefit from the latest advancements in machine learning to accelerate the creation of generative AI applications.
Clement Delangue, CEO of Hugging Face, said, "Amazon SageMaker and AWS-designed chips will enable our team and the larger machine learning community to convert the latest research into openly reproducible models that anyone can build on."
Hugging Face has become the central hub for machine learning, with more than 100,000 free and accessible machine learning models downloaded more than 1 million times daily by researchers, data scientists, and machine learning engineers.
The AI industry will likely trigger a battle among the big cloud hosting providers like AWS and Alphabet Inc's GOOG GOOGL Google Cloud.
Price Action: AMZN shares traded higher by 0.59% at $95.08 premarket on the last check Wednesday.
