Scaling AI-Based Data Processing with Hugging Face + Dask

Oct 9, 2024 4m read Sarah Johnson, James Bourbeau, Quentin Lhoest , Daniel van Strien This post was originally published on the Hugging Face blog . The Hugging Face platform has many datasets and pre-trained models that make using and training state-of-the-art machine learning models increasingly accessible. However, it can be hard to scale AI tasks because AI datasets are often large (100s GBs to TBs) and using Hugging Face transformers for model inference can sometimes be computationally expensive.
