We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.

HuggingFace's platform is a resource for developers and researchers working in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning, offering insights into NLP models, tools, and datasets. Through articles, tutorials, and open-source projects, HuggingFace offers insights into state-of-the-art NLP techniques, transformer architectures, and transfer learning methods. Developers can learn about using pre-trained models, fine-tuning strategies, and deploying NLP applications with HuggingFace's libraries and APIs.

Synchronous continuous batching leaves the GPU idle for nearly 25% of runtime while the CPU prepares the next batch. By introducing CUDA streams (H2D, compute, D2H), CUDA events for cross-stream ordering, double-buffered input slots to avoid race conditions, and a carry-over mechanism to propagate output tokens as inputs for the next batch, CPU and GPU work can overlap almost entirely. On an 8B model generating 8K tokens at batch size 32, this raises GPU utilization from 76% to 99.4% and cuts generation time by 22% — with no model or kernel changes. The implementation is available in the Hugging Face Transformers library.
