Hugging Face
Hugging Face is a platform and community that provides open-source tools, models, and datasets for machine learning, especially for natural language processing.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Hugging Face is a prominent open-source AI community and platform offering a vast repository of pre-trained machine learning models (Transformers library), datasets, and tools for natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and audio tasks, facilitating collaborative AI development.
BACKGROUND
Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Basic Technology Research Co., Ltd., doing business as DeepSeek, is a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company that develops open weights large language models (LLMs). Based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, DeepSeek is owned and funded by High-Flyer, a Chinese hedge fund. DeepSeek was founded in July 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, who serves as the CEO for both of the companies. The company launched an eponymous chatbot alongside its DeepSeek-R1 model in January 2025. Its Series A round in May 2026 brought the company to a post-money valuation of US$52 billion.
