Hugging Face submits open-source blueprint, challenging Big Tech in White House AI policy fight
Hugging Face challenges Big Tech in White House AI Action Plan submission, arguing open-source models match commercial performance while democratizing access and enhancing national security.
In its official submission, Hugging Face highlights recent achievements like OlympicCoder, which outperforms Claude 3.7 on complex coding tasks while using just 7 billion parameters, and AI2’s fully open OLMo 2 models that match OpenAI’s o1-mini performance levels. The submission comes as part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to gather input for its upcoming AI Action Plan, mandated by Executive Order 14179, officially titled “Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence,” which was issued in January. “Little Tech has an important role to play in strengthening America’s ability to compete in AI in the future, just as it has been a driving force of American technological innovation historically,” a16z wrote in its submission, using language that aligns somewhat with Hugging Face’s democratization arguments.
