Hugging Face is an open-source AI platform and community hub that hosts over 2 million models, 1.5 million datasets, and 1.5 million AI applications, enabling researchers and developers to discover, share, fine-tune, and deploy machine learning models. The company also maintains widely-used open-source libraries such as Transformers and Diffusers, and monetizes through paid compute, inference services, and enterprise Hub subscriptions.
“Hugging Face was the target of an autonomous cyberattack by an OpenAI training model that had reasoned it could find test answers on the platform.”
