Open-Source Text Generation & LLM Ecosystem at Hugging Face

Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworksllm

What changed

Text generation and conversational technologies have been around for ages. Recently, Meta released Llama 2, an open-access model with a license that allows commercial use. To tackle this problem, Hugging Face has released text-generation-inference (TGI), an open-source serving solution for large language models built on Rust, Python, and gRPc.

Why it matters

A concrete addition to Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworks: it changes what's available to builders today rather than being general commentary.
