What it offers
Inference Endpoints
Dedicated, autoscaling infrastructure to deploy a model from the Hub straight to production.
Hugging Face Hub
The open repository of models, datasets and demo Spaces most of the open-source AI ecosystem is built on.
What it can do
- One-click deployment of open-weight models to dedicated infrastructure
- Choice of underlying cloud (AWS, Azure) and hardware tier
- The largest public catalog of open AI models and datasets
What its 2 layers mean
- Model
The trained system that actually produces the answer - GPT, Gemini, Claude, Llama and others like them - plus the platforms that make models like these available for developers to build on.
- Inference
The moment a trained model is actually used to produce an answer, in about the time it takes to read this sentence. Training a model happens once; inference happens every single time someone uses it.
