Hugging Face: the AI revolution, within everyone's reach

Hugging Face is a Franco-American technology company founded in 2016 specialized in the field of artificial intelligence that offers a wide range of services to developers, companies and people interested in the solutions that AI can offer.

This company, which is based on the open source philosophy and community collaboration among all involved actors, wants to democratize access to AI, therefore it provides AI tools, resources and models.

For example, Hugging Face offers a space called Spaces which is a free-access web platform where users can test all kinds of models and specific AI applications. Presented as a directory, users can perform a search to locate tools that respond to their interests or filter them by categories (for example, image, video or text generation tools, translation, text or image analysis, code generation, chatbots and many others).

Hugging Face also allows browsing through more than one million AI models, thousands of datasets and tens of thousands of demos and interactive applications.

Additionally, and among other services, the company offers the Hugging Face Hub, a free environment where registered users can explore, experiment, collaborate and build technology with Machine Learning.

The 25 most read articles each week on Wikipedia

What are the most consulted articles each week on Wikipedia? The answer to this question can be found in the Top 25 Report, a weekly report that presents the 25 most viewed articles on English Wikipedia in a given week, from Sunday to Saturday.

This report, which is updated every week, is based on page view data generated by people. Thus, non-human visits, made by bots or spiders, are excluded.

The report offers the exact number of visits and also explanatory notes that help understand the context of the topic of each article.

Additionally, it also presents the articles that have accumulated the highest number of visits in a given week.

The report began to be produced in January 2013. All published reports can be consulted on the website.
