Hugging Face is a platform where the machine learning community collaborates on models, datasets and applications. The site describes its mission as advancing and democratising artificial intelligence through open source and open science.
Users can host and collaborate on public models, datasets and applications. The site lists Models, Datasets and Spaces as its main sections, and says the platform covers text, image, video, audio and 3D. Spaces run applications, with GPU upgrades available. The company also maintains open source libraries such as Transformers, Diffusers, Tokenizers and Datasets.
The site offers access to more than 45,000 models from several AI providers through a single API, with no service fees stated. It also offers Inference Endpoints and paid GPU compute, starting at $0.60 per hour for GPU.
For teams and enterprises, the Team and Enterprise plan adds single sign-on, audit logs, resource groups, private dataset viewing and priority support. The page states a starting price of $20 per user per month.
The site says more than 400,000 organisations use the platform, and names companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta among them.
