PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What is Hugging Face?

Hugging Face is the platform where the machine learning community collaborates on models, datasets and applications. Users can browse 2M+ models and 500k+ datasets, explore 1M+ Spaces apps, and host public repositories with Git-based collaboration. The open-source stack includes Transformers, Diffusers, Datasets, PEFT, TRL and smolagents, while Inference Providers offer a unified API to 45,000+ models and Inference Endpoints provide dedicated autoscaling deployment. Teams can add enterprise security, access controls and support. Access ranges from a free account to PRO at $9/month, Team at $20/user/month, Enterprise at $50/user/month, plus hourly GPU and storage pricing.
