Hugging Face announced that Jun Kim, creator and maintainer of oMLX, has joined the company. His new role is specifically aimed at supporting the MLX community.
The move gives the MLX community a dedicated link inside Hugging Face. It also brings maintainer experience with an MLX-related tool directly into the organisation as MLX tooling continues to develop.
Kim's appointment signals that Hugging Face intends to keep investing in MLX-related open-source work, though the announcement does not detail specific projects or a roadmap.
