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.
Self-hosted AI workspace for local and cloud models
Connect local runtimes like Ollama alongside OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic APIs, and switch between them inside one interface.
RAG over your own documents, web search and citation-aware answers come standard, so responses are grounded in real sources.
Extend the platform with Python code to add custom tooling, preprocessing, and multi-step pipelines, then share them with others.
SSO, RBAC, audit logs, data residency, and on-premises, hybrid or air-gapped deployment for organisations with strict requirements.
