New Features

In the last few months, the Hub went from 10,000 public model repositories to over 16,000 models! Kudos to our community for sharing so many amazing models with the world. And beyond the numbers, we have a ton of cool new features to share with you!

Spaces Beta (hf.co/spaces)

Spaces is a simple and free solution to host Machine Learning demo applications directly on your user profile or your organization hf.co profile. We support two awesome SDKs that let you build cool apps easily in Python: Gradio and Streamlit. In a matter of minutes you can deploy an app and share it with the community! 🚀

Spaces lets you set up secrets, permits custom requirements, and can even be managed directly from GitHub repos. You can sign up for the beta at hf.co/spaces. Here are some of our favorites!

• Create recipes with the help of Chef Transformer
• Transcribe speech to text with HuBERT
• Do segmentation in a video with the DINO model
• Use Paint Transformer to make paintings from a given picture
• Or you can just explore any of the over 100 existing Spaces!
