Company mission
Hugging Face is on a mission to democratize good machine learning, one commit at a time.
Role
Who you are
- You’re passionate about open source and making advanced ML tools accessible
- You are someone who stays up to date with the latest machine learning trends and models
- You love experimenting and have a high bias for action and results
- Experience using modern deep learning libraries and LLM APIs and understanding tradeoffs between different models and APIs
- Knowledge of how to fine-tune LLMs, create retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, and use re-rankers for two-stage retrieval
- You’re comfortable exploring and contributing to a codebase consisting of Python and Svelte-flavored JavaScript
- You have a “product mindset” -- like experimenting with different user interfaces to build products that are useful to to hundreds of thousands of users
- If you're interested in joining us, but don't tick every box above, we still encourage you to apply!
What the job involves
- We are currently working on a suite of AI tools to help users quickly understand and write Gradio code
- The first is the Playground: a code editor on our website which can generate or update complete Gradio demos based on a user’s query
- The main objective for a Machine Learning Engineering intern will be to expand this effort
- We can leverage ~500k Gradio spaces and thousands of existing prompts from users to build a sophisticated model pipeline with the proper context of how Gradio works
- More and more developers are relying on LLMs for assistance in writing code, but these LLMs often do not have proper context on how Gradio works
- Gradio has evolved from a library to an ecosystem for machine learning developers, with custom components contributed from our community, Python and JS clients, and Gradio Lite
- To advance these efforts and as Gradio's usage and developer community grows, it's important to invest in tools that can help users learn, build and contribute to Gradio
- We support the community. We believe significant scientific advancements are the result of collaboration across the field. Join a community supporting the ML/AI community
Application process
- Please provide a cover letter mentioning why you would like to work in open-source at Hugging Face
- We encourage you to mention your skills, potential expertise, and topics on which you would like to work
Our take
Large language models, which recognize and generate text, are already being used to auto-complete sentences, power chat bots, moderate content, summarize news articles, and translate text online. However, many of these advances are happening behind closed doors, stifling innovation and raising ethicacy 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 to create personalised chat assistants, in direct competition to 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.
