Hugging Face
The home of open AI — 1M+ models, datasets and demo Spaces to run, fine-tune and deploy, free for the community.
About Hugging Face
Hugging Face is where open AI lives: a GitHub-like hub hosting over a million models, datasets and interactive demos (Spaces), with the Transformers library that most of the industry uses to run them. Developers browse and download open models for text, image, audio and more, test them in the browser, fine-tune them, and deploy inference endpoints when they need production scale. Most of the platform is free; paid tiers add private storage at scale, faster inference and enterprise controls. If an open model exists, it is probably here first.
