In a strategic alliance, Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) and Hugging Face are working together to simplify the process for enterprises to develop, refine, and deploy their custom open-source generative AI (GenAI) models. Leveraging the Hugging Face community, this collaboration integrates these capabilities seamlessly into Dell’s leading infrastructure products and services.
As part of this partnership, a dedicated Dell portal will be established on the Hugging Face platform.

Within the Hugging Face Dell portal, users will find customized containers and scripts designed to assist in the secure deployment of open-source models available on Hugging Face using Dell servers and data storage systems. The portal will also regularly release updated containers, optimized for Dell infrastructure, to enhance performance and support new GenAI use cases and models.
Jeff Boudreau, Chief AI Officer at Dell Technologies, highlighted the advantages of this collaboration, stating, “Dell Technologies’ GenAI capabilities, combined with Hugging Face’s collection of datasets and libraries, offer users the freedom of open-source GenAI models with the peace of mind of on-premises data security and reliability.” Boudreau emphasized that this collaboration accelerates enterprise modernization by simplifying the deployment of custom GenAI models powered by Dell infrastructure.
