Overview

Hugging Face is the collaboration platform for the machine learning community: host and share models, datasets, and Spaces applications. The Hub pairs with open-source libraries, Inference Providers/Endpoints for serving, and enterprise offerings for teams. Builders use it to discover models, demo apps, and run inference without building their own model hosting stack.
