#001 | A journey into open-source Hugging Face Models on Azure AI
December is the month for New Year resolutions - and this year I am determined to write more on Hugging Face. I kept putting this off thinking I wanted to have time to craft perfect long-form articles, but then I discovered we can do quick posts. So why wait till January?
I am a PhD, a Polyglot, a Parent, a Visual Storyteller, a Community Builder - and an AI Advocate at Microsoft. However, if I look back on my 25+ years in tech, what I love most is to help people learn by making complex concepts feel more accessible and actionable regardless of your background or expertise. And in 2025, I want to use a #NityaLearnsAI tagline as a way to share my learning journey, explore the vast space of AI tools and technologies, amplify our open-source community and put the fun back in fundamentals. I hope you find it useful and will join me!
My first post is on this Microsoft Ignite theater session delivered in Nov:
https://ignite.microsoft.com/en-US/sessions/THR502?source=sessions It was not recorded but can find the slides here: https://speakerdeck.com/nitya/thr502-journey-into-open-source-hugging-face-models-on-azure-ai - and the illustrated guide attached below summarizes the talk in one big picture.
At the core, this is about my growing interest in **Model Choice** and learning more about not just frontier models but the much larger ecosystem of open-source variants and the community creators who build them. See:
