Hugging Face
Hugging Face is a leading open‑source AI company and community platform that focuses on simplifying and democratizing machine learning. At its core, it hosts a “Model Hub” with millions of pre‑trained models for tasks like text generation, translation, vision, audio processing and more, along with datasets and tools to experiment, fine‑tune, and deploy these models.
Besides being a repository, Hugging Face provides a full ecosystem: libraries such as Transformers, Diffusers, Datasets etc., developer APIs, Spaces (a way to build and share demo apps), and inference endpoints so you can run models without managing all infrastructure. It also offers paid enterprise services for teams needing collaboration features, private repositories, security controls, scalability, and more compute resources.
