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.
One API for fast, cost-predictable inference on LLMs and multimodal models
Access a large catalog of LLMs and multimodal models through a single endpoint, so most existing SDK code works after swapping the base URL and key.
Start with pay-per-use serverless calls, then move to dedicated endpoints, reserved H100/H200/MI300 GPUs or elastic GPU (FaaS) deployment as throughput and cost requirements grow.
Customize supported models on your own data and push the tuned variant to a hosted endpoint without building a training pipeline from scratch.
Transparent rate tables list input, cached-input and output prices per million tokens, plus per-image rates for generation models, making budget planning concrete.
