We wanted to create a unique and welcoming identity for our Hugging Face community in Australia—one that reflects both the friendly, open-source spirit of Hugging Face and the rich culture, nature, and character of Australia. The name combines local references—whether from native animals (like the koala or platypus), iconic landscapes (such as the Outback or Uluru), or cultural phrases (like “G’day” or “mates”)—with a focus on collaboration, machine learning, and open innovation. Our goal is to bring together researchers, developers, and enthusiasts across Australia who are passionate about natural language processing, transformers, and open models. The name is designed to be inclusive, memorable, and uniquely "Aussie"—making everyone feel right at home in the global Hugging Face family.
