CollinsOmondi - PeerSpot reviewer
Support team is available and answers all the questions and it is also free which is good for personal projects
The very first thing that I really like about it is the support team. They're really available on Discord, and they answer all of your questions. I think it's free for personal projects unless you want to go to production. I haven't really used it that much, but the features that I have used so far, I have no issues with them.

Versatility empowers AI concept development despite the multi-GPU challenge
Regarding scalability, I'm finding the multi-GPU aspect of it challenging. Training the model is another hurdle, although I'm only getting into that aspect currently. Organizations are apprehensive about investing in multi-GPU setups. Additionally, data cleanup is a challenge that needs to be resolved, as data must be mature and pristine.

Pros

"The very first thing that I really like about it is the support team. They're really available on Discord, and they answer all of your questions."
"I would rate this product nine out of ten."
"My preferred aspects are natural language processing and question-answering."
"I appreciate the versatility and the fact that it has generalized many models."
"The most valuable features are the inference APIs as it takes me a long time to run inferences on my local machine."
"It is stable."
"The product is reliable."
"Hugging Face provides open-source models, making it the best open-source and reliable solution."
"There are numerous libraries available, and the documentation is rich and step-by-step, helping us understand which model to use in particular conditions."
 

Cons

"Cohere has text generation. I think it is mainly focused on AI search. If there was a way to combine the searches with images, I think it would be nice to include that."
"The area that needs improvement would be the organization of the materials. It could be clearer and more systematic. It would be good if the layout was clear and we could search the models easily."
"Most people upload their pre-trained models on Hugging Face, but more details should be added about the models."
"I've worked on three projects using Hugging Face, and only once did we encounter a problem with the code. We had to use another open-source embedding from OpenAI to resolve it. Our team has three members: me, my colleague, and a team leader. We looked at the problem and resolved it."
"Access to the models and datasets could be improved. Many interesting ones are restricted."
"I believe Hugging Face has some room for improvement. There are some security issues. They provide code, but API tokens aren't indicated. Also, the documentation for particular models could use more explanation. But I think these things are improving daily. The main change I'd like to see is making the deployment of inference endpoints more customizable for users."
"It can incorporate AI into its services."
"The solution must provide an efficient LLM."
"Hugging Face could improve by implementing a search engine or chat bot feature similar to ChatGPT."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We do not have to pay for the product."
"The solution is open source."
"So, it's requires expensive machines to open services or open LLM models."
"I recall seeing a fee of nine dollars, and there's also an enterprise option priced at twenty dollars per month."
"The tool is open-source. The cost depends on what task you're doing. If you're using a large language model with around 12 million parameters, it will cost more. On average, Hugging Face is open source so you can download models to your local machine for free. For deployment, you can use any cloud service."
"Hugging Face is an open-source solution."
