AWS is partnering with Hugging Face, the machine learning company, to make it easier to use and train machine learning and artificial intelligence models, the companies announced this week. As part of that partnership, AWS will offer JumpStart templates that will allow web, frontend and other software developers to deploy models quickly while accessing them through an API, said Jeff Boudier, head of product and growth at Hugging Face. “We want to make those models really easy and cheaper to use through our collaboration with AWS, where most of the business community today is doing machine learning,” Boudier told The New Stack.
Launched in 2017, it allows developers to create, train and deploy machine learning models, as well as to deploy those models on embedded systems and edge devices.
That includes using Inference Endpoints, a Hugging Face solution that allows developers to deploy machine learning models on a fully managed infrastructure.
