The 🐐 of 🐐s Victor M @victormustar reflecting a bit on my (long) journey @huggingface - most big things start very small: > around 6 years ago @julien_c contacts me (on twitter) he's building a "hub for ml models community" (wtf is this). Still I feel it's interesting and I want to be part of it > day 18: we start iterating on design ideas and prototypes with the Hub team - trying a lot of stuff to understand what could work (and we are having fun doing it) > day 41: julien shares our mockups with the team, "everyone is pretty excited". 2 weeks later an offer email arrives, subject: "Offer 🤗😱" > day 167: we write "The AI community building the future", 2 days before launch, not sure anyone will care > day 169: launch day, julien: "we launch now or tomorrow?" me: "now, I'm done". we launch the new Hugging Face Hub > day 318: clem posts traffic charts in slack at 1am: "very nice growth in august!". Glimpses of something happening 👀 > day 687: it's not small anymore... also on this day dalle-mini goes viral, for a week the whole internet is on huggingface > years pass by, we keep shipping uninterrupted, the Hub team grows a bit (with exceptional people). The community shows up, 1M models, then 3M... > day 2221 (yesterday): surprise all-hands, Jensen Huang joins the call. We're joining NVIDIA. 🔗 View Quoted Tweet 💬 6 🔄 1 ❤️ 51 👀 8064 📊 11 ⚡ Powered by xgo.ing
