CLOUDFLARE-HUGGING FACE PARTNERSHIP ENABLES DEVELOPERS DEPLOY AI MODELS

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare Inc, the connectivity cloud company has partnered with Hugging Face, the open platform for artificial intelligence (AI) builders, to make deploying the best open AI models more accessible and affordable to developers.

Cloudflare will be the first serverless graphics processing unit (GPU) preferred partner for deploying Hugging Face models, enabling developers to quickly and easily deploy AI globally, without managing infrastructure or paying for unused compute capacity.

“Hugging Face has made it possible for developers to find the models they need to build AI-driven experiences. Connecting developers to Workers AI is going to make it possible for them to deploy them, in just a few clicks,” said Cloudflare chief executive officer (CEO) and co-founder, Matthew Prince in a statement.

Meanwhile, Hugging Face CEO, Clem Delangue said Hugging Face and Cloudflare both share a deep focus on making the latest AI innovations as accessible and affordable as possible for AI builders.

“We are excited to offer serverless GPU services in partnership with Cloudflare to help developers scale their AI apps from zero to global, with no need to wrangle infrastructure or predict the future needs of their application, just pick your model and deploy,” he said.

Hugging Face’s leading model hub, combined with Cloudflare’s hyper-distributed edge network, will make it easier than ever for developers to build with AI affordably and at scale.

This partnership will enable developers to use the best Hugging Face models, optimised for Cloudflare; deploy Workers AI in one click from Hugging Face; and build AI without upfront costs.
