Cloudflare, a leading web infrastructure and security company, has announced a partnership with Hugging Face, an AI model hosting platform. The goal of this partnership is to make AI models more accessible and affordable for developers.
Making AI deployment easy with serverless GPU models
One of the key features that Cloudflare will be bringing to Hugging Face is serverless GPU models. This means that developers will no longer have to worry about managing infrastructure or paying for unused capacity. They can simply choose their desired model and deploy it without any hassle. This feature will greatly simplify the process of deploying AI models and make it more cost-effective.
Bringing popular optimized models to Cloudflare's catalog
Cloudflare will also be adding popular Hugging Face optimized models to its model catalog. This will provide developers with a wide range of pre-trained models that are optimized for performance and speed. With these models readily available, developers can save time and effort in training their own models from scratch.
Cloudflare integrations as part of Hugging Face's Inference solutions
Additionally, Cloudflare integrations will be integrated into Hugging Face's Inference solutions. This will enable developers to easily leverage Cloudflare's capabilities for serving predictions from the models hosted on the Hugging Face platform. Whether it's the free and rate-limited Inference API, dedicated infrastructure deployments with Inference Endpoints, or in-browser edge inference with Transformers.js, developers will have various options to choose from to meet their specific requirements.
A seamless developer experience
Both Cloudflare and Hugging Face are committed to providing the best developer experiences. As part of this partnership, Cloudflare's developer platform will integrate Hugging Face models as a native part of the experience. This means that developers using Cloudflare's platform can seamlessly deploy Hugging Face models directly from Cloudflare's dashboard. On the other hand, developers who are used to finding models on Hugging Face can also deploy them directly from the Hugging Face UI to Cloudflare's Workers AI.
By eliminating friction and providing a seamless experience, this partnership aims to empower developers to easily deploy AI models and bring their ideas to life.
Exciting things to come
Cloudflare and Hugging Face are excited about what the future holds for this partnership. They will continue to work closely together to enable new experiences powered by Cloudflare. This includes bringing serverless GPU inference solutions to Hugging Face users and exploring new edge use cases. Developers can expect more exciting updates in the coming months.
With this partnership, Cloudflare and Hugging Face are making AI deployment easier and more affordable than ever before. Developers can now access a wide range of pre-trained models, leverage serverless GPU models, and benefit from Cloudflare's powerful infrastructure. This collaboration is a major step forward in democratizing AI and empowering developers to create innovative applications.
