Hugging Face

Overview

The idea behind Hugging Face is simple. Developers show off their AI tools here and anyone can test them. From making images and videos to generating music or speech - you’ll find it all. Hugging Face Spaces is where you go to play with AI without coding headaches. It's packed with demos you can use straight from your browser. 

Hugging Face used to just be a chatbot company but things changed quick. Now it's one of the biggest spots for sharing AI models. Spaces is their playground where devs can put up tools using Gradio or Streamlit and users can mess around with them.

Most Spaces are public and free to use. Some are private and need a paid plan. Either way it’s all in one spot so it’s easy to find what’s new or trending.

If you build AI tools Hugging Face gives you serious firepower. You can run models on CPUs or faster stuff like T4 or A100 GPUs. And with version control and collab tools it’s more than just a place to demo your work. It’s where you can build test and share with others.

Here’s a quick look at pricing:

• Free. $0 per month lets you host public Spaces on CPU with limited compute
• Starter. Around $9 per month gets you private Spaces and a basic GPU
• Pro. Around $49 per month gives you faster GPUs and more compute
• Business. Custom price with A100 GPUs security support and analytics

Prices can shift depending on where you are and how much you use.
