Details
At the Microsoft Build conference, Microsoft and Hugging Face announced an expanded partnership to make it easy to deploy open models on Azure's secure infrastructure.
The 'Hugging Face Collection' in Azure AI Foundry's model catalog includes over 10,000 models for various tasks such as text, audio, and image. Developers can deploy models with just a few clicks to build AI applications.
For enterprise environments, only models that meet the following security standards are curated and provided:
- Passed security testing via ProtectAI Guardian and JFrog security scanner
- Use of safetensors format to prevent Pickle vulnerabilities
- No remote code included to prevent arbitrary code injection at runtime
Users can start deployment not only through Azure AI Foundry but also by selecting the 'Deploy on Azure ML' option directly from a model page on the Hugging Face Hub.
