At a glance

Hugging Face is a platform where open AI models from around the world (more than 2,000,000), datasets and demo apps (Spaces) come together, and it is called "the GitHub of AI". You can download models, run demos in the browser, or call the APIs of several inference companies with one account, and it also runs the open-model chatbot HuggingChat. It suits developers/researchers who want to find, compare and deploy open models, and general users who want to try a variety of free AI demos.

Full model list

Hugging Face is a platform rather than a model company of its own, so below is a summary of its products/services and widely used hosted model families.

Product/model	Type	Features	Where/which plan
HuggingChat (Omni)	Chatbot	Router-type chatbot For each question, automatically picks a suitable model from more than 100 open models (gpt-oss/Qwen/DeepSeek/Kimi/SmolLM and others) The 1.5B Arch-Router judges the question type You can also choose a model yourself	Free account: small credit PRO: use within $2 per month of credits (pay as you go beyond that)
Models Hub	Model repository	Search/download more than 2,000,000 public models Model cards summarize license/usage	Free (private repository storage depends on plan)

Which plan to choose

Free: People who want to download open models and run them on their own computer, or try image generation/voice conversion and more through free demos in Spaces.
PRO: Individual developers who often run GPU demos with ZeroGPU or run their own Spaces, and people who want to test several open model APIs for a small amount. $2 of credits is included in the $9 per month.
Team: Startups/labs that need to share private models/data with teammates and manage access permissions.
Enterprise: Companies that need security audits, SSO/SCIM and high API limits.
Pay as you go (Inference Providers/Endpoints): Developers who want to add open models to a service. You can switch between several providers and pick the cheapest or fastest.
