Hugging Face Settles Patent Dispute with FriendliAI
Hugging Face has reached a settlement with the Korean AI startup FriendliAI over a patent infringement lawsuit. The agreement was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Delaware, where FriendliAI will dismiss its suit with prejudice. The lawsuit, initiated nearly two years ago, accused Hugging Face of infringing on a patent related to data batching in AI systems. Hugging Face, a prominent AI developer platform, has raised $235 million from major tech backers. The details of the settlement remain confidential.
