Hugging Face
The place to find, try and share open AI models, datasets and live demos.
What is Hugging Face?
Hugging Face is less a single app and more a giant community library for AI. You can browse a huge collection of open models, download datasets, and try thousands of live demos, called Spaces, right in your browser without writing code.
For developers, we think it is close to essential. Its open-source libraries such as Transformers make it straightforward to load and fine-tune models, and you can host your own models and demos to share with others.
The flip side of openness is uneven quality: model cards and Spaces vary widely, so it takes some judgment to pick good ones. Browsing is free, Pro is $9 per month for extra perks, and heavier compute such as GPU-backed hosting is billed separately.
Best for: Developers, researchers and tinkerers working with open AI models
