Overview

Hugging Face is an American company, founded in 2016 and headquartered in New York, that runs the largest open platform for sharing machine learning models, datasets and demonstration applications. Its Hub hosts more than a million public models and is often described as the GitHub of machine learning, while its open-source libraries such as Transformers, Diffusers and Datasets are standard tools in research and production pipelines. The company earns revenue from paid Hub features, managed inference endpoints and enterprise deployments, and works with cloud and chip vendors to make open models easy to run anywhere.
