What Hugging Face is
Hugging Face is a platform for the machine learning community and teams building AI. It brings together models, datasets and applications so people can collaborate on machine learning work.
The platform hosts public models, datasets and applications, alongside an open-source machine learning software stack. Teams can access models through a unified API, use inference endpoints to run them in applications, and use GPUs for compute. Team and Enterprise plans start at $20 per user per month, while GPU compute starts at $0.60 per hour.
