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.
Open-source model and dataset hub with one-click online demos
Browse and download thousands of pretrained models and datasets across NLP, vision, audio, and multimodal tasks.
Try models directly in the browser through hosted inference demos without local setup.
Run training and fine-tuning in cloud notebooks with complimentary GPU and CPU resources.
Integrate ModelScope models into your own pipelines using the official Python package and APIs.
