What is Hugging Face?
This chapter introduces Hugging Face as a platform for machine learning and artificial intelligence. It explains that Hugging Face is like a central hub or landing page for AI resources, similar to GitHub but focused on AI models and datasets. The video highlights the platform's vast collection of models, including text-to-image models, language models, and text-to-speech models. It also mentions the availability of datasets for various AI tasks.
Using Hugging Face Models Locally
This chapter demonstrates how to use Hugging Face models locally in Python. The video shows how to install necessary packages like diffusers and transformers and then provides code examples for using a text-to-image model (Stable Diffusion) and a text summarization model (Facebook Bart Large CNN). It emphasizes the ease of use and the ability to run models locally on a GPU.
Hugging Face Spaces: Using Models in the Browser
This chapter introduces Hugging Face Spaces, a feature that allows users to interact with models directly in the browser without needing to deploy them locally. The video demonstrates using Stable Diffusion 3 and a Llama 370 billion parameter chatbot in the browser. It highlights the convenience of using models in the cloud without requiring a local GPU.
