Jun Kim, creator and maintainer of oMLX, has joined Hugging Face to support the MLX community.
Hugging Face announced that Jun Kim, the creator and maintainer of oMLX, has joined the company to support the MLX community.
The move signals increased investment in MLX, Apple's machine learning framework, and its ecosystem. oMLX is a community tool for MLX, and its maintainer joining Hugging Face may lead to deeper integration with Hugging Face's model hub and libraries.
Hugging Face is strengthening its support for Apple silicon-based ML workflows, potentially expanding its developer base among Mac users and researchers using MLX.
Hugging Face gains direct expertise in MLX, enhancing its platform's appeal to developers using Apple hardware and potentially increasing adoption of its tools in that segment.
Expect closer collaboration between oMLX and Hugging Face's ecosystem, possibly leading to official MLX support in Hugging Face libraries and more MLX-compatible models.
