Considering diving into AI for your business? An “open-source” approach might be the key. In the IBM podcast “Smart Talks with IBM,”  Jeff Boudier, Head of Product and Growth at Hugging Face, discusses why open-source AI empowers businesses with Malcolm Gladwell and Tim Harford.

Hugging Face, an open-source AI platform offers access to over 300,000 pre-trained models and promotes collaboration on new models. This, as Boudier explains, allows businesses to leverage pre-existing knowledge and build better customized AI models using their data.

The discussion compares Hugging Face to a “GitHub for AI,” highlighting how it makes AI resources readily available for businesses. This open access drives innovation and reduces costs associated with traditional AI development.

The podcast emphasizes how businesses can benefit from open-source AI:

  • Build better, customized models.
  • Leverage a vast library of pre-trained solutions.
  • Achieve cost-effective AI implementation.
