Description

Amazon and startup Hugging Face say the ability to rapidly assemble thousands of neural networks inside of Amazon SageMaker, and train them with greater ease, will “democratize” use of deep learning.

Summary

  • It has grown and grown in popularity.
  • The popularity of that toolkit has been recognized by Amazon AWS, the world's biggest clouding computing provider, and the two companies Tuesday announced a partnership to combine Transformers with the best aspects of Amazon AWS's programming tools. "
  • As we became the leading open platform for NLP [natural language processing], it's important for us to collaborate really heavily with AWS as the leader in cloud platforms," said Clemente Delangue, co-founder and chief executive of Hugging Face, in an interview with ZDNet Monday. "
  • As a result, some deep learning work that is closed source is not available to the platform.
