VRAM, throughput and GPU cost calculators plus courses for open-weight LLM deployment
Estimates weight and KV cache memory for a chosen model variant, context length, batch size and quantization so you know whether a GPU will actually fit the workload.
Projects time-to-first-token and tokens-per-second throughput per hardware configuration to help you size for real user traffic.
Converts memory and performance estimates into hourly and per-token economics across hardware configurations.
Reference pages for 500+ model variants and documented hardware benchmarks, keeping sizing inputs in one place.
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.
