Today is a huge day in Argillaâs history. We couldnât be more excited to share this with the community: weâre joining Hugging Face!
Weâre embracing a larger mission, becoming part of a brilliant and kind team and a shared vision about the future of AI.
Over the past year, weâve been collaborating with Hugging Face on countless projects: launching partner of Docker Spaces, empowering the community to clean Alpaca translations into Spanish and other languages, launching argilla/notus-7b-v1 building on Zephyrâs learnings, the Data is Better Together initiative with hundreds of community contributors, or releasing argilla/OpenHermesPreferences, one of the largest open preference tuning datasets
After more than 2,000 Slack messages and over 60 people collaborating for over a year, it already felt like we were part of the same team, pushing in the same direction. After a week of the smoothest transition you can imagine, weâre now the same team.
To those of you whoâve been following us, this wonât be a huge surprise, but it will be a big deal in the coming months. This acquisition means weâll double down on empowering the community to build and collaborate on high quality datasets, weâll bring full support for multimodal datasets, and weâll be in a better place to collaborate with the Open Source AI community. For enterprises, this means that the Enterprise Hub will unlock highly requested features like single sign-on and integration with Inference Endpoints.
