FriendlyAI , a leader in generative AI inference acceleration, announced a strategic partnership with HuggingFace.
Huggingface is an AI model and dataset platform with over 7 million users. Through this partnership, FriendlyAI's endpoints will be provided as deployment options for Huggingface, allowing developers to deploy and operate AI models more easily. Huggingface has only provided services from major big tech companies such as AWS, Azure, GCP, and NVIDIA as deployment options, but FriendlyAI is attracting attention from the industry by forming a strategic partnership with Huggingface.
Deploying and operating generative AI models comes with complex infrastructure management and high costs, but FriendlyAI solves these problems based on its technology that boasts the No. 1 processing speed (Artificial Analysis benchmark results) among GPU-based model API providers worldwide. In particular, 'Friendly Dedicated Endpoints' provide dedicated GPU resources and automatic resource management based on a GPU-optimized inference engine, and support fast and cost-effective inference services in a fully managed form. This allows developers to easily deploy and stably operate generative AI models without the burden of infrastructure management.
This partnership further advances HuggingFace’s vision of ‘AI democratization’ while contributing to FriendlyAI’s corporate mission of ‘helping anyone easily utilize the potential of generative AI models.’ Through this, FriendlyAI has established itself as a key strategic partner of HuggingFace.
“Friendly AI and Hugging Face share a vision to expand their influence by making generative AI and AI agents more accessible and usable for more developers,” said Jeon Byeong-gon, CEO of Friendly AI. “We are excited to see what innovations Hugging Face’s developer community will create using our inference solutions, and we will continue to seek ways to provide more useful features and support by working with Hugging Face in the future.”
“Friendly AI has been pioneering the advancement of generative AI inference acceleration,” said Julien Chaumond, Co-Founder and CTO of HuggingFace. “Through this partnership, we will enable HuggingFace users and Friendly AI customers to efficiently scale and operate the latest open source models or custom generative AI models by leveraging Friendly AI’s optimized AI infrastructure and tools.”
