Open-sourced, reliable, and enables organizations to finetune data for business requirements
Hugging Face is a website that provides various open-source models. We use them to finetune models for our business. It is just like ChatGPT, but ChatGPT has paid sources. If we have to call an API, we must pay for it. However, Hugging Face has various open-source models like Llama 2 and Llama 3…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Some of the valuable features are the vast amount of services that are available, such as load balancer, and the AI architecture."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"A range of a a wide range of algorithms, EIM voice mails, which can be plugged in right away into your solution into into into our solution, and then have platform that provides know, to to come up with an operational solution really quick."
"Since the model could be trained in just a couple of hours and deploying it took only a few minutes, the entire process took less than an hour."
"I think the user interface is quite handy, and it is easy to use as compared to the other cloud platforms."
"The solution is able to read 90% of the documents correctly with a 10% error rate."
"On GCP, we are exposing our API services to our clients so that they send us their information. It can be single individual records or it can be a batch of their clients."
"The platform's Google Vision API is particularly valuable."
"It is stable."
"The product is reliable."
"There are numerous libraries available, and the documentation is rich and step-by-step, helping us understand which model to use in particular conditions."
"The tool's most valuable feature is that it's open-source and has hundreds of packages already available. This makes it quite helpful for creating our LLMs."
"The tool's most valuable feature is that it shows trending models. All the new models, even Google's demo models, appear at the top. You can find all the open-source models in one place. You can use them directly and easily find their documentation. It's very simple to find documentation and write code. If you want to work with AI and machine learning, Hugging Face is a perfect place to start."
"My preferred aspects are natural language processing and question-answering."
"The solution is easy to use compared to other frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow."
"What I find the most valuable about Hugging Face is that I can check all the models on it and see which ones have the best performance without using another platform."
 

Cons

"The initial setup was straightforward for me but could be difficult for others."
"One thing that I found is that Azure ML does not directly provide you with features on Google Cloud AI Platform, whereas Vertex provides some features of the platform."
"Customizations are very difficult, and they take time."
"The solution can be improved by simplifying the process to make your own models."
"Improvements in text extraction accuracy and pricing adjustments would be helpful."
"It could be more clear, and sometimes there are errors that I don't quite understand."
"At first, there were only the user-managed rules to identify the best attributes of the individual. Then, we came up with a truth set and developed different machine learning models with the help of that truth set, so now it's completely machine learning."
"I think it's the it it also has has evolved quite a bit over the last few years, and Google Cloud folks have been getting, more and more services. But I think from a improvement standpoint, so maybe they can look at adding more algorithms, so adding more AI algorithms to their suite."
"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."
"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."
"Initially, I faced issues with the solution's configuration."
"Implementing a cloud system to showcase historical data would be beneficial."
"Hugging Face could improve by implementing a search engine or chat bot feature similar to ChatGPT."
"Most people upload their pre-trained models on Hugging Face, but more details should be added about the models."
"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."
"The solution must provide an efficient LLM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"For every thousand uses, it is about four and a half euros."
"The solution has an attractive starting program, which costs only 300 USD for a duration of three months. During this period, one can accomplish a lot of work on the solution."
"The licenses are cheap."
"The price of the solution is competitive."
"Hugging Face is an open-source solution."
"I recall seeing a fee of nine dollars, and there's also an enterprise option priced at twenty dollars per month."
"We do not have to pay for the product."
"So, it's requires expensive machines to open services or open LLM models."
"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."
"The solution is open source."
