Established in 2016, the AI platform Hugging Face empowers businesses to create their own artificial intelligence solutions using open models. In the past, both startups and large enterprises faced high costs and significant challenges when trying to develop their own AI through the fine-tuning of open models. Hugging Face has addressed these issues by hosting over two million open-source AI models, including Gemma 3 from Google Cloud. Additionally, the platform provides open-source libraries that allow users to train and deploy these models directly on Google Cloud.
The platform facilitates developers in discovering cutting-edge models, collaborating with other AI practitioners, and integrating essential tools through APIs. Beyond merely hosting models, Hugging Face cultivates a dynamic community of 13 million AI builders who work together on models, datasets, and demo applications known as “Spaces.” By reducing entry barriers, Hugging Face makes powerful AI tools available to developers everywhere—not just to those at prominent tech companies.
