Habana Labs and Hugging Face Partner to Accelerate Transformer Model Training
What changed
Santa Clara and San Francisco, CA, April 12th, 2022 Powered by deep learning, transformer models deliver state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of machine learning tasks, such as natural language processing, computer vision, speech, and more. However, training them at scale often requires a large amount of computing power, making the whole process unnecessarily long, complex, and costly. Today, Habana® Labs, a pioneer in high-efficiency, purpose-built deep learning processors, and Hugging Face, the home of Transformer models, are happy to announce that they’re joining forces to make it easier and quicker to train high-quality transformer models.
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.
