Hugging Face

Hugging Face – The AI Community Platform is a collaborative platform that accelerates the creation, discovery, and deployment of AI models, datasets, and applications. It provides a centralized ecosystem for researchers and developers to share state-of-the-art models, datasets, space-hosted apps, and enterprise solutions. The platform highlights openness, interoperability, and scalable tooling for ML projects across text, image, audio, video, and 3D modalities.

How to Use Hugging Face

1. Browse Models, Datasets, and Spaces. Explore the catalogue of models (pre-trained and fine-tuned), datasets, and interactive Spaces (web apps) to find suitable resources for your task.
2. Sign Up / Sign In. Create an account to upload your own models, datasets, and Spaces, or to access enterprise features.
3. Publish and Share. Upload artifacts (models, datasets) with metadata, licenses, and usage guidelines; publish as public or private to collaborate with others.
4. Deploy and Inference. Use provided inference endpoints or deploy on managed hardware for scalable prediction serving.
5. Enterprise Solutions. If needed, leverage enterprise-grade security, access controls, SSO, audit logs, and dedicated support.
