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…

Provides good integration and used for data labeling
We use Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio to train our models and for data labeling The solution's most beneficial feature is its integration with Azure. We are an Azure-based company, and the solution's integration feature allows us to log in through Cosmos DB or Application Insights.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is stable."
"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."
"There are numerous libraries available, and the documentation is rich and step-by-step, helping us understand which model to use in particular conditions."
"My preferred aspects are natural language processing and question-answering."
"The product is reliable."
"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."
"Hugging Face provides open-source models, making it the best open-source and reliable solution."
"The solution is easy to use compared to other frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the availability of ChatGPT in the solution."
"It's easy to deploy."
"The solution is integrated with our Microsoft Azure tenant, and we don't have to go anywhere else outside the tenant."
"The learning curve is very low. Operationalizing the model is also very easy within the Azure ecosystem."
"When you import the dataset you can see the data distribution easily with graphics and statistical measures."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to use all of the cognitive services, prebuilt from Azure."
"​It has helped in reducing the time involved for coding using R and/or Python."
"The solution is easy to use and has good automation capabilities in conjunction with Azure DevOps."
 

Cons

"The solution must provide an efficient LLM."
"Implementing a cloud system to showcase historical data would be beneficial."
"Most people upload their pre-trained models on Hugging Face, but more details should be added about the models."
"Initially, I faced issues with the solution's configuration."
"It can incorporate AI into its services."
"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."
"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."
"Hugging Face could improve by implementing a search engine or chat bot feature similar to ChatGPT."
"The price of the solution has room for improvement."
"It is not easy. It is a complex solution. It takes some time to get exposed to all the concepts. We're trying to have a CI/CD pipeline to deploy a machine learning model using negative actions. It was not easy. The components that we're using might have something to do with this."
"The initial setup time of the containers to run the experiment is a bit long."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve by adding pixel or image analysis. This is a priority for me."
"The regulatory requirements of the product need improvement."
"I have found Databricks is a better solution because it has a lot of different cluster choices and better integration with MLflow, which is much easier to handle in a machine learning system."
"The price could be improved."
"The solution should be more customizable. There should be more algorithms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I recall seeing a fee of nine dollars, and there's also an enterprise option priced at twenty dollars per month."
"The solution is open source."
"Hugging Face is an open-source solution."
"So, it's requires expensive machines to open services or open LLM models."
"We do not have to pay for the product."
"The solution cost is high."
"From a developer's perspective, I find the price of this solution high."
"I used the free student license for a few months to operate the solution, but I'll have to pay for it if I want to do more now."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The product is not that expensive."
"We pay only the Azure costs for what we use, which involves some subscription costs. But essentially, you pay for what you use. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Last year, we paid 60,000 for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in our department."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
