GPU-Poor no more: super excited to officially release ZeroGPU in beta today. Congrats Charles, Victor & team for the release! In the past few months, the open-source AI community has been thriving. Not only Meta but also Apple, NVIDIA, Bytedance, Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft, Google, and more have released open models and datasets on Hugging Face, which now hosts over 1M models on the Hub which have been downloaded over a billion times. More than that, many are starting to be better than proprietary APIs. This movement has been supported not only by big tech but also by a thriving open-source AI community that includes academic labs, startups, and independent hobbyists. For example, more than 35,000 variation models of Llama have been shared on Hugging Face since Meta’s first version a year ago—including more than 7,000 based on Llama-3—ranging from quantized and merged models to specialized models in biology and Mandarin, to name a few. More than 4 million AI builders are now using Hugging Face. However, the open-source community doesn’t have the same resources available to train and demo these models that big tech have at their disposal, which is why ChatGPT remains the most used AI application today. Hugging Face is fighting this by launching ZeroGPU, a shared infrastructure for indie and academic AI builders to run AI demos on Spaces, giving them the freedom to pursue their work without the financial burden of compute costs. Spaces have been the most popular way to build AI demos, with over 300,000 AI demos created so far on CPU or paid GPU (and a thousand more every day). To foster the continued development of the AI ecosystem, Hugging Face is committing $10M of free GPUs with the launch today of ZeroGPU. Technically speaking, ZeroGPU leverages Hugging Face's experience in hosting and serving more than 100 Petabytes monthly from the Hugging Face Hub. ZeroGPU allows Spaces to run on multiple GPUs by making Spaces efficiently hold and release GPUs as needed (as opposed to a classical GPU Space that holds exactly one GPU at any time). This architecture is also more energy-efficient since GPUs are shared rather than duplicated. ZeroGPU uses NVIDIA A100 GPU devices under the hood. You can learn more about ZeroGPU here: https://lnkd.in/e9_XhhaW More than 1,300 ZeroGPU spaces have been built since we started giving early access to AI builders on May 1, 2024: https://lnkd.in/em-V66t6 You can find the article from @kyliebytes: https://lnkd.in/eHYUEwjZ 🤗🤗🤗

I requested access few months ago. Still no access. I can't make new request, since the button to make it, just stuck there. Is there a way I can make a new request to join it?

Wonder what your thoughts on decentralized AI projects in crypto space like crypto projects Fetch.ai, Ocean Protocol,and Singularity Net joining together to form collective to be renamed Artificial Super Intelligence. They supposedly have some people with expertise in AI and definitely have people with blockchain experience. I like the idea of decetralized infrastructure like GPUs and Data and even more so decentralized models as a counterbalance to big corporations taking majority of market.

Absolutely thrilled about ZeroGPU! 🚀 It's like Hugging Face just handed out golden tickets to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, but for AI enthusiasts and indie developers. The thought of what this could mean for innovation is mind-blowing. Imagine all those brilliant ideas that were on hold because folks couldn't afford the compute power - now they can come to life! Can't wait to see what amazing projects will pop up/

GPUs are one of the two choke points to building powerful AI. Data, specially access to high quality enterprise data, is the other. Protopia AI helps secure data flows for fine tuning or training workloads by transforming data into LLM usable formats which safeguard against exposure or leakage.

Maybe i should take a view, i struggling in my financial situation and cant work forward acctually, to expensive for me: my-ai-generator.com .. yesterday i release a payment plan that can change it, but to late 😅
