What you'll learn

Building applications with state-of-the-art AI can seem daunting, often requiring massive compute resources and deep expertise. In this course, Introduction to Hugging Face, you’ll learn to found, implement, and deploy powerful, pre-trained AI models from the open-source community.

First, you’ll explore the Hugging Face Hub, learning how it serves as a community hub where you can discover and evaluate thousands of models and datasets. Next, you’ll discover the simplicity of the Transformers library, using its pipeline feature to run a text generation model with just a few lines of code. Finally, you’ll learn how to deploy your model through multiple methods, including local execution, the Hugging Face Inference API, and by creating web demos with Spaces. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll be ready to move from an idea to a working prototype and start building your own AI-powered features with the Hugging Face ecosystem.
