Hugging Face and Google Cloud have announced a strategic alliance to advance machine learning and open AI research. Google Cloud customers, Hugging Face Hub users, and open source are the three main focuses of the strategic partnership. Google wants to make cutting-edge AI discoveries available through Hugging Face's open-source frameworks. <\/p>\n
Google is well-known for its contributions to open-source technologies like TensorFlow and JAX. Thanks to Google's specialized hardware, Hugging Face models can be trained and deployed more quickly for Google Cloud users. <\/p>\n
Through this partnership, Hugging Face's platform will be integrated with Vertex AI and other Google Cloud services, increasing the usefulness and accessibility of generative AI for developers. Hugging Face users and Google Cloud customers will benefit from the cooperation by being able to quickly accelerate applications with TPUs on Hugging Face Spaces, deploy models for production on Google Cloud with Inference Endpoints, and monitor use through their Google Cloud account. Additionally, by supporting Google Kubernetes Engine installations, the cooperation enables the development of new generative AI applications. <\/p>\n
Hugging Face users can opt to utilize Vertex AI as the designated deployment platform for hosting and administering open models. This seamless integration facilitates the process. Moreover, they also have the choice of selecting GKE, a hosted Kubernetes managed service, which provides a significant level of flexibility and control over their operations. <\/p>\n
Our new partnership with @huggingface will give developers access to Vertex AI and our AI-optimized infrastructure to serve and train more than 100K AI models, and help accelerate the next generation of AI services and applications,said Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud on his X account. <\/p>\n
The benefits of this partnership will also be available to Hugging Face Hub users, who will be able to facilitate model deployment on Google Cloud, accelerate applications using TPUs, and streamline Enterprise Hub subscription management via their Google Cloud accounts until 2024. Vertex AI and GKE will be available in the first half of 2024 as deployment options on the Hugging Face platform. <\/p>\n
