Introduction

HuggingFace is a $2 billion company that manages the open source community around machine learning models. It has become synonymous with AI and code management, but it's also an important platform for startups to run their own systems. Matthew Lindley: Hugging Face really did start when academics were there five years ago; they predate this huge revolution now. Danny Crayton: If AI hits in the way some people think it will, these decisions are going to be out of the hands of the original inventors.
