HuggingFace or HF was a incorporated entity writing some well engineered and easy to use Deep Learning libraries. Notably, around the time when the Transformer paper was released, and when the NLP community started using them en masse, HF’s implementation became very popular. They started hosting pretrained models that you can download and start using in a single python line. Then they started doing the same for common datasets. Now it’s one of the larger AI startups with a brilliant set of programmers, engineers, and have multiple revenue streams (I’m guessing).
