Total noob’s intro to Hugging Face Transformers

Hugging Face Blog · 2 years ago

Hugging Face Transformers is an open-source Python library that provides access to pre-trained models for natural language processing and other tasks, simplifying model deployment by abstracting away underlying framework complexity. The tutorial walks users through running Microsoft's Phi-2 model in a Hugging Face Space notebook, which requires renting a GPU (an NVIDIA A10G Small at a couple of dollars per hour) to handle the model's computational requirements. Users can now experiment with large language models without prior machine learning experience by following step-by-step code instructions in an interactive notebook environment.
