In 2023, AWS announced an expanded collaboration with Hugging Face to accelerate customers’ generative artificial intelligence (AI) journeys. Founded in 2016, Hugging Face is the premier AI platform with over 500,000 open source models and over 100,000 datasets. Over the past year, we’ve partnered to make it easy to train, fine-tune, and deploy Hugging Face models using Amazon SageMaker, AWS Trainium, and AWS Inferentia. Developers using Hugging Face can now optimize performance, reduce costs, and bring generative AI applications into production faster.
We are excited to announce the Generative AI Roadshow in North America. At this roadshow, you’ll meet experts from Hugging Face and AWS, learn about the latest developments in generative AI, and gain hands-on experience fine-tuning and deploying foundational models.
