1️⃣5️⃣ things you probably didn't know about Hugging Face!

That's a 15min talk I'll give today in SF - and 🚨 SPOILER ALERT 🚨 I have it here for you as a sneak preview 🧵

1️⃣ Democratize Good Machine Learning

Everything we do at 🤗 rolls up to our mission to democratize good machine learning, and we do this through open source, community-driven, and ethics-first machine learning. Image
2️⃣ Speaking of ethics-first, let's start with that.

We want to operationalize ethics in AI, that means creating tools for the community to build ML with ethics-first principles.

Find them all on this space by @mmitchell_ai @YJernite @NimaBoscarino 🛠🔬

3️⃣ Hugging Face is one of the top open source organizations in the world.

Maybe you know Transformers and Datasets, but do you know Diffusers, Accelerate, Optimum, PEFT, SetFit?

(🚀 now #36 since I wrote this last week with 185k ⭐️ on GitHub - see gitstar-ranking.com/organizations) Image
4️⃣ Diffusers is growing faster than Transformers did

Transformers made it super easy to build with the latest models and switch ML framework, ML task or model architecture.

Diffusers is doing the same for diffusion models for image and audio generation. Follow @diffuserslib ! Image
5️⃣ You can find >150k free ML models on the 🤗 Hub.

It's the largest source of state of the art models, and you can find anything from NLP to vision, audio, RL, transformers and models from 35+ libs.

All free and accessible thanks to the 🤗🌎 community!

6️⃣ And Hugging Face hosts even more private models!

When you create a model, dataset or Space repo, you can set it public or private - which is great to collaborate with your team!

Over 15,000 organizations use 🤗 to build ML into their apps. Image
7️⃣ HF users download over 1 million models a day 🤯

And our stats are open source too!
Check out model download trends at huggingface.co/spaces/hugging…

(BTW pro tip - @lizallendorf added a feature for repo owners to see lifetime downloads - find it in repo settings) Image
8️⃣ How we make money 🤑

... is a little known fact 😬

HF makes money by selling:
🏭 Compute services to train, demo and deploy models for production: hf.co/pricing
🧑‍💻 Expert support to help companies build with open source ML: hf.co/support Image
9️⃣ Developers: get started with /tasks

Want to build ML features without combing through 150k models?
Head over to hf.co/tasks led by @mervenoyann

Pick a task like text summarization, it will recommend the best models, and you can even deploy your own API! Image
1️⃣0️⃣ Expect open source LLMs from Hugging Face!

We are committed to providing open source alternatives to proprietary models. We built a supercomputer cluster for open source research - check out BigCode hf.co/bigcode and follow @SanhEstPasMoi for Flamingo repro! Image
1️⃣1️⃣ BLOOMZ is the largest open source instruction LLM

Many know about 🌸 BigScience/BLOOM, but few know BLOOMZ, a fully open, instruction tuned, 176B parameter LLM - best multilingual basis for open RLHF projects!

1️⃣2️⃣ ControlNet is 🔥 for image generation!

You know Stable Diffusion - but do you know ControlNet?
Use doodles, contours, depth, human pose as guides to get exactly the image you want.

And with @diffuserslib - it's wicked fast!
Play with it at huggingface.co/spaces/hysts/C… Image
1️⃣3️⃣ There's a (Mac) app for Diffusers!

We offer many ways to experiment with models like Stable Diffusion, but did you know you can play with the models in a few clicks and get your Mac to create the images for you?

Get it ➡️ apps.apple.com/app/diffusers/…
(needs M1 or later chip) Image
1️⃣4️⃣ Hugging Face offers a free course on Generative AI!

Learn how to build apps that generate images and audio, from theory to practice 🎓🚀
github.com/huggingface/di… Image
1️⃣5️⃣ Add ML into Web apps with huggingface.js 🔥

2/3 of devs build in JavaScript - now they can add ML into their apps with our new open source client library!

Serve predictions from any Hugging Face models directly from a webpage! 🤯
github.com/huggingface/hu… Image
Now I've open sourced my talk, will anyone show up tonight at Buzzworks in SF? 🤣

All the above is releases and milestones over the last few weeks. If this was useful to you, please let me know with a retweet so I open source my next talk! 🙋

Machine Learning these days (call it AI if you must) feels a lot like humans teaching machines to teach humans to teach machines… ad infinitum

[1/14]🧵👇
Somewhere in that feedback loop a couple years ago something clicked (woohoo Transformers!) and we got superhuman models.

2/14
Superhuman, that is better than the average person at a simple (pretty dumb, actually) task (aka, “benchmark”).
