About Hugging Face
Hugging Face started in 2016 as a chatbot app and pivoted into open-source machine learning infrastructure. It has become the default platform for sharing models and datasets.
Impact
The Hugging Face Hub hosts hundreds of thousands of models, and its Transformers library is one of the most widely used tools in machine learning. By making models and datasets openly accessible, the company functions as critical shared infrastructure for the entire AI community.
