Company mission
Hugging Face is on a mission to democratize good machine learning, one commit at a time.
Role
Who you are
- If you love open-source but also have an eye for art and creativity, are passionate about making complex technology more accessible to engineers and artists, and want to contribute to one of the fastest-growing ML ecosystems, then we can't wait to see your application!
- If you're interested in joining us, but don't tick every box above, we still encourage you to apply! We're building a diverse team whose skills, experiences, and background complement one another. We're happy to consider where you might be able to make the biggest impact
What the job involves
- ChatGPT took the world by storm due to its surprising capabilities
- By the time it was launched it was a massive model, requiring many GPUs to run
- Fast forward to 2024, and we have 1B LLMs that fit in a smartphone and have similar quality levels
- The community has also realized that small models using techniques like chain of thought can outperform much larger models
- The focus of this internship is on model usage: how can we extract a higher-quality output from existing small-sized pre-trained models?
- This internship works at the intersection of software engineering and machine learning engineering, bringing state-of-the-art generative breakthroughs to transformers in a user-friendly fashion
- By the end of this internship, the candidate will have touched all facets that power LLM APIs, including hardware acceleration, numerical precision problems, common machine learning caveats, and the importance of writing scalable software
Our take
Large language models, which recognise and generate text, are already being used to auto-complete sentences, power chatbots, moderate content, summarise news articles, and translate text online. However, many of these advances are happening behind closed doors, stifling innovation and raising ethical concerns.
To combat this, Hugging Face is building the "GitHub of machine learning". It’s a community-driven platform with a ton of repositories, where developers can create, discover and collaborate on ML models, datasets and ML apps. This work led to the creation of BLOOM in 2022, an open-access LLM with similar architecture to OpenAI’s GPT, but that is multilingual by design.
The company also launched the Hugging Chat Assistant, an open-source tool creating personalised chat assistants, in direct competition with OpenAI's paid service ChatGPT Plus. By continually creating value based on a global community, not just for Microsoft or Google, HuggingFace should be able to carve out its own path for success.
