Microsoft and Hugging Face expanded their collaboration to make open-source AI models easier to deploy on Azure's infrastructure. Azure AI Foundry now offers over 10,000 Hugging Face models that users can deploy in a couple of clicks, up from 200,000 total models on the Hugging Face Hub two years ago. The expanded partnership enables enterprises to securely deploy open models within their Azure accounts alongside private data, with Microsoft and Hugging Face committing to add day-zero releases and continuously update trending models.
