Hugging Face Hub and Ecosystem Fundamentals

Master the Hugging Face ecosystem—the leading open-source platform for machine learning. This hands-on course teaches you to discover, evaluate, and deploy pre-trained models for text, image, and audio tasks without training from scratch. You'll learn to navigate the Hugging Face Hub to find models among 500,000+ options, read model cards to make informed selections, and understand licensing for commercial use. Through practical exercises, you'll build inference pipelines using the Transformers library, process datasets efficiently with streaming for large-scale data, and deploy models across…
