Sunnyvale (California): Google Cloud and Hugging Face Thursday January 25, 2024 announced a new strategic partnership that will allow developers to utilize Google Cloud's infrastructure for all Hugging Face services, the tech giant said.

The partnership will also enable training and serving of Hugging Face models on Google Cloud.

The partnership advances Hugging Face's mission to democratize AI and furthers Google Cloud's support for open source AI ecosystem development.

"With this partnership, Google Cloud becomes a strategic cloud partner for Hugging Face, and a preferred destination for Hugging Face training and inference workloads", the IT firm said.

"Developers will be able to easily utilize Google Cloud's AI-optimized infrastructure including compute, tensor processing units (TPUs), and graphics processing units (GPUs) to train and serve open models and build new generative AI applications", it added.

How the partnership will help developers

Google Cloud and Hugging Face will partner closely to help developers train and serve large AI models more quickly and cost-effectively on Google Cloud. This includes giving developers a way to train, tune, and serve Hugging Face models with Vertex AI, supporting Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) deployments, providing more open source developers with access to Cloud TPU v5e, adding future support for A3 VMs and utilizing Google Cloud Marketplace.

Vertex AI and GKE will be available in the first half of 2024 as deployment options on the Hugging Face platform.

Stating that Google Cloud and Hugging Face share a vision for making generative AI more accessible and impactful for developers, Thomas Kurian, CEO at Google Cloud said:

"This partnership ensures that developers on Hugging Face will have access to Google Cloud's purpose-built AI platform, Vertex AI, along with our secure infrastructure, which can accelerate the next generation of AI services and applications."

Hailing the partnership, Clement Delangue, CEO of Hugging Face said:

"From the original Transformers paper to T5 and the Vision Transformer, Google has been at the forefront of AI progress and the open science movement."

"With this new partnership, we will make it easy for Hugging Face users and Google Cloud customers to leverage the latest open models together with leading optimized AI infrastructure and tools from Google Cloud including Vertex AI and TPUs to meaningfully advance developers ability to build their own AI models", he added.
