Hugging Face

The platform where the machine learning community collaborates on models, datasets, and applications

Hugging Face is the platform where the machine learning community shares and collaborates on models, datasets, and applications. The site describes its mission as advancing and democratizing AI through open source and open science, and lists more than two million models, over a million applications in Spaces, and datasets you can browse directly.

Beyond hosting, the platform offers Inference Providers, Inference Endpoints, and Storage Buckets for running and storing ML work, plus documentation, a Learn section, a Discord, and a forum for the community. It also runs HuggingChat, which is why it appears in the Chatbots & Assistants category here, and the homepage highlights trending models and running demo apps covering video, image editing, and music generation. The site states that more than 50,000 organizations use it.

Pricing shows a PRO tier, Team and Enterprise plans, and a pricing page, though the inputs do not spell out a free tier. Sign up, browse the trending models, and try a Space to see what the community is building.
