Hugging Face is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 2016, it employs approximately 250 people. The company develops tools for building applications using machine learning, notably its transformers library designed for natural language processing applications and a platform enabling users to share machine learning models and datasets.
Hugging Face now enables users to deploy its open-source models to production on Microsoft Foundry Managed Compute, leveraging autoscaling GPUs and built-in security, effective June 26, 2026. This development follows Hugging Face's introduction of "Hugging Face Jobs," which aims to simplify AI model deployment by addressing traditional complexities in infrastructure, cloud configuration, and GPU management, previously tasks for specialized engineering teams. Earlier on June 25, 2026, Hugging Face expanded its strategic partnership with Qualcomm Technologies to advance open developer-driven AI across devices and cloud networks. This collaboration allows Hugging Face's 16 million developers to optimize and deploy open AI models across Qualcomm's hardware, including Snapdragon mobile processors, Dragonwing on-prem appliances, and Dragonfly data center racks. The expanded alliance also integrates Hugging Face internal and developer workloads onto Qualcomm Dragonfly data center solutions, facilitates agentic AI model onboarding on Qualcomm Technologies’ platforms, and supports the development of a Hugging Face Agent for hybrid orchestration of AI workloads.
