Hugging Face and Google partner for open AI collaboration

Google Cloud has announced a partnership with AI model repository Hugging Face, which allows developers to build, train, and deploy AI models using Google's cloud resources, including tensor processing units (TPU) and GPU supercomputers like Nvidia's H100s, without needing a Google Cloud subscription.

This partnership provides cost-effective access to these resources for developers on Hugging Face's platform, which hosts over 350,000 models and is valued at $4.5 billion. Hugging Face features open-sourced foundation models like Meta’s Llama 2 and Stability AI’s Stable Diffusion.

Developers can start using Google's AI app-building platform Vertex AI and Kubernetes engine for training and fine-tuning models in the first half of 2024. Although Google Cloud is supporting open-source AI ecosystem development through this partnership, Google's major models like Gemini and Imagen are not available on Hugging Face and are considered more closed-source.
