Open-source data integration engineered for AI agents and analytics
Connect databases, SaaS tools, files, and APIs to warehouses, lakes, and other destinations without writing ingestion code for each source.
Define a custom connector declaratively in minutes when no prebuilt one exists, then use it like any other connector in your pipelines.
Serve warehouse data to AI agents through an MCP server with inherited access controls, so agents get context without bypassing governance.
Choose fully managed Cloud, a hybrid model where pipelines run in your own VPC, or the self-hosted open-source core.
The open platform where the machine learning community hosts models, datasets, and AI apps
Search, download, and publish across millions of models and hundreds of thousands of datasets, complete with model cards, versioning, and citations.
Deploy Gradio, Streamlit, or static apps directly from a repository to show off a model, run comparisons, or share a tool with a public link.
Transformers, Diffusers, Datasets, Tokenizers, Accelerate, PEFT, TRL, and smolagents give you end-to-end tooling for training, fine-tuning, and inference.
Inference Providers route a single API to tens of thousands of models from multiple vendors, while Inference Endpoints spin up dedicated GPU hardware on demand.
