- Model fine-tuning: Use PEFT and TRL libraries to efficiently fine-tune large language models with techniques like LoRA and RLHF on custom datasets sourced from the 500k+ dataset hub.
- Production inference: Deploy models via Inference Endpoints (GPU compute from $0.60/hour) with a REST API, or self-host using Text Generation Inference for optimized LLM serving.
- Multimodal pipelines: Compose image, text, and audio pipelines using Transformers and Diffusers, integrated directly with PyTorch.
- In-browser AI: Run models client-side using Transformers.js with no server infrastructure required.
- Agent workflows: Build lightweight AI agents using smolagents with access to 45,000+ models via the unified API.
- Enterprise ML collaboration: Manage model versioning, dataset access, and team permissions across 50,000+ organizations with SSO and audit logs on Enterprise plans.
