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.
AI-powered talent marketplace connecting experts with frontier AI work
Machine-learning models screen and match candidates to remote roles in hours rather than weeks, based on skills, experience and availability.
AI-driven interviews and assessments validate professional expertise before experts are surfaced to hiring partners.
Experts work on flexible, remote projects with rates reported to average around $90 per hour and fast, recurring payouts.
Mercor collaborates with enterprises to design benchmarks such as legal, accounting and software-engineering evaluations for AI agents.
