AI startup Hugging Face offers a wide range of data science hosting and development tools, including a GitHub-like portal for AI code repositories, models and datasets, as well as web dashboards to demo AI-powered applications.

But some of Hugging Face’s most impressive — and capable — tools these days come from a two-person team that was formed just in January.

H4, as it’s called — “H4” being short for “helpful, honest, harmless and huggy” — aims to develop tools and “recipes” to enable the AI community to build AI-powered chatbots along the lines of

To train its models, H4 — like other research teams at Hugging Face — relies on a dedicated cluster of more than 1,000 Nvidia A100 GPUs. Tunstall and his other H4 co-worker, Ed Beeching, are based remotely in Europe, but receive support from several internal Hugging Face teams, among them the model testing and evaluation team.

“The small size of H4 is a deliberate choice, as it allows us to be more nimble and adapt to an ever-changing research landscape,” Beeching told TechCrunch via email. “We also have several external collaborations with groups such as LMSYS and Lately, H4 has been investigating different alignment techniques and building tools to test how well techniques proposed by the community and industry really work. The team this month released a handbook containing all the source code and datasets they used to build Zephyr, and H4 plans to update the handbook with code from its future AI models as they’re released.

I asked whether H4 had any pressure from Hugging Face higher-ups to commercialize their work. The company, after all, has raised hundreds of millions of dollars from a pedigreed cohort of investors that includes Salesforce, IBM, AMD, Google, Amazon Intel and Nvidia. Hugging Face’s last funding
