Announcing the Hugging Face Fellowship Program

The Fellowship is a network of exceptional people from different backgrounds who contribute to the Machine Learning open-source ecosystem 🚀. The goal of the program is to empower key contributors to enable them to scale their impact while inspiring others to contribute as well.

How the Fellowship works 🙌🏻

This is Hugging Face supporting the amazing work of contributors! Being a Fellow works differently for everyone. The key question here is:

❓ What would contributors need to have more impact? How can Hugging Face support them so they can do that project they have always wanted to do?

Fellows of all backgrounds are welcome! The progress of Machine Learning depends on grassroots contributions. Each person has a unique set of skills and knowledge that can be used to democratize the field in a variety of ways. Each Fellow achieves impact differently and that is perfect 🌈. Hugging Face supports them to continue creating and sharing the way that fits their needs the best.

What are the benefits of being part of the Fellowship? 🤩

The benefits will be based on the interests of each individual. Some examples of how Hugging Face supports Fellows:

💾 Computing and resources

🎁 Merchandise and assets.

✨ Official recognition from Hugging Face.
