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.
The data, evaluations and systems behind AI that has to be right.
Human-sourced and expert-annotated training data, including specialist contributors with advanced degrees, at the quality bar frontier labs require.
Public leaderboards plus private benchmarks that test model capability and safety for the most ambitious AI developers.
Platform and services teams that pick the right use case, build the system and take ownership of the outcome.
Agentic systems designed around measurable business outcomes across private equity portfolios, energy and healthcare operations.
