- A special mention goes to @osanseviero, whose collection inspired me to design this dedicated Space. Another shoutout to @victor, whose intricately designed Spaces cards motivated me to step up my CSS game :) I plan to release additional features in the future. In the meantime, suggestions are welcome!
Ever since I fell down the AI rabbit hole, it hasn’t been super easy to spot and follow the most impactful Hugging Face contributors on X. So, inspired by @Weyaxi leaderboards, I decided to create a list just for this purpose.
Why, you ask?
First, it’s quite surprising how so many talented AI pioneers and independent contributors on X don't get the visibility/reach you might expect. Sad but true: follower count doesn't always match up with the value or innovation an individual brings to the table (just stating the obvious here).
Open source AI, in particular, thrives not just on innovation but also on the collective spirit of its believers and builders. With Hugging Face standing out as a prime hub for top AI engineers and contributors, compiling a directory of X profiles from influential figures on this platform felt like a natural step.
This Space aims to not only connect these top contributors but also guide open AI enthusiasts and newcomers towards the field's leading lights.
I put this modest page together using some web scraping and what I remember from my web dev class ages ago! Suggestions/likes are welcome - I’m hoping to keep tweaking/upgrading it, especially if you all find it useful.
Now, let’s follow each other! It’s time to accelerate the dissemination of our ideas, encourage collaboration within our community, and ensure that open AI developments receive the attention and recognition they deserve. 🔥
