How Does It Work?
State of the Art as easy as HTTP requests
import requests
def query(payload, model_id, api_token):
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_token}"}
API_URL = f"https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/{model_id}"
response = requests.post(API_URL, headers=headers, json=payload)
return response.json()
model_id = "distilbert-base-uncased"
api_token = "hf_XXXXXXXX" # get yours at hf.co/settings/tokens
data = query("The goal of life is [MASK].", model_id, api_token)Fully-hosted API for AI

Frequently Asked Questions
- What’s the latency?
- We accelerate our models on CPU and GPU so your apps work faster. Read up on how we achieved 100x speedup on Transformers.
- Is my data secure?
- All data transfers are encrypted in transit with SSL. Hugging Face protects your inference data - no third-party access. Enterprise plans offer additional layers of security for log-less requests.
- What is your uptime?
- Check out our status page to learn more about our uptime and follow status updates on any identified performance issues.
- Do you offer SLAs?
- For the free tier, there is no service-level agreement (SLA) on support response times. However, enterprise plans include an SLA on support response times and uptime guarantees.
- Does it support large models?
- Large models (>10gb) require dedicated infrastructure and maintenance to work reliably, we can support this via an enterprise plan with yearly commitment.
