• Challenging the Average With Open-Source AI: Hugging Face’s Thomas Wolf

      Thomas Wolf is the cofounder and chief science officer of open-source AI platform Hugging Face, which provides access to thousands of pretrained AI models that can be downloaded and run locally. With over 10 million users, getting started on the site can be a daunting task. Thomas explains how the company aims to improve its accessibility through documentation on the company blog as well as community feedback, similar to social media likes and upvoting.

      Thomas and Me, Myself, and AI host Sam Ransbotham discuss the benefits and trade-offs of both open-source and closed-source AI models, as well as the evolution of microchips and the future of hardware and software development — as well as the hopes Thomas has for the future of coding with AI, starting with his children’s generation.
