HF = Hugging Face[1] they're the folks that are providing things like Stable Diffusion 2.1 Demo[2]<p>[1] <a href="https://huggingface.co" rel="nofollow">https://huggingface.co</a>

Some things I'd like to see solved in this space:<p><pre><code> - Versioning. Don't change the LLM model behind my application's back. Always provide access to older versions.
- Freedom. Allow me to take my business elsewhere, and run the same model at a different cloud provider.
- Determinism. When called with the same random seed, always provide the same output.
- Citation/attribution. Provide a list of sources on which the model was trained. I want to know what to expect, and I don't want to be part of an illegal operation.
- Benchmarking. Show me what the model can and cannot do, and allow me to compare with other services.</code></pre>
I now think that "Hugging Face" refers to "the face one has when hugging" which, of course, is very nice.<p><i>But up until just now, today</i> I thought it was an Alien(s) reference.
I'm not sure to congratulate or be scared for them but Clem, Julien, Thomas and team are the nicest and most helpful org in AI and should be given whatever they need to succeed!
I’m interested to see what strategy GCP will go with. Azure partnered with OpenAI and AWS partnered with HF. It seemed like from the Google blog post they are going to try to market their home grown AI tech through GCP but for many categories they have opted to partner or buy vendors to add more products to GCP.
I hope this means that Alexa and Siri will understand everyday speech better, since amazon tends to dog food their services and I would assume that Apple would want to keep up. As of right now, it is annoying asking anything beyond turning on / off lights, playing specific key words like news or music, or the weather. It’s like a command line but with voice.<p>Google is much better with questions pre-chat GPT, but their home integration has been broken post Nest debacle.
Will HuggingFace get paid or is it alongside other AWS "partnerships" where the authors will get their product taken for free, forked and maintained by AWS?
Great move by AWS. Given how they work I bet that there was a document presented to Andy within a couple days of the Microsoft announcement.<p>Google’s complete failure continues.
