"Google and Hugging Face Join Forces to Boost Open-Source AI Development"

Google Cloud's partnership with Hugging Face allows developers to access Google's supercomputers for building, training, and deploying AI models without needing a Google Cloud subscription. Hugging Face, a popular AI model repository, hosts over 350,000 open-sourced models and has received significant investment. The partnership will provide cost-effective access to Google's tensor processing units and GPU supercomputers, benefiting developers using Hugging Face's platform. Google's support for open-source AI ecosystem development is furthered through this collaboration, which will enable Hugging Face users to utilize Google Cloud's AI app-building platform and Kubernetes engine in the first half of 2024.
