What is Hugging Face?
Hugging Face is the main distribution point for open models, datasets and Spaces. Its Inference Providers layer adds hosted API access to supported models, routing each request to an appropriate inference partner and billing it against one account.
Key Features
- The largest catalogue of open models, with model cards and usage examples
- Inference Providers APIs covering supported text, image and multimodal models
- Account credits that work across providers instead of per-provider sign-ups
- Hub-native access to Spaces and datasets for evaluation and prototyping
How to Access
Create an access token on your Hugging Face account and use the Inference Providers documentation for the model you need. Check the credit balance and the provider limits before you build on them.
