Hugging Face Executive Discusses Startup Choices for Open Models

Hugging Face Chief Policy Officer and Senior Vice President of Strategy Irene Solaiman discussed what startups should consider before building on open AI models in a podcast conversation with interviewer Rebecca Bellan.

The conversation covered choices involving tools and infrastructure, as well as trade-offs in building with models that are more widely available. Enterprises, governments and startups are adopting open models for lower costs, greater control and flexibility.

Broader questions around open models include how companies can capture value as models become more capable and widely available, and whether U.S. companies can keep pace as Chinese open models gain ground.
