Quick Start by Task

Text Generation

NLP

Run LLMs like Llama, Mistral, and GPT-style models for text generation tasks.

Image Generation

Vision

Generate images using Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, and other diffusion models.

Speech & Audio

Audio

Transcribe audio with Whisper or generate speech with text-to-speech models.

Embeddings

Retrieval

Create vector embeddings for semantic search, RAG pipelines, and clustering.

Get Started in Seconds

Use the Hugging Face Inference API with just a few lines of code. No GPU required.

import requests

API_URL = "https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/meta-llama/Llama-3-8B"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer hf_YOUR_TOKEN"}

response = requests.post(API_URL, headers=headers, json={
    "inputs": "What is AI inference?",
    "parameters": {"max_new_tokens": 200}
})

print(response.json())
