AI BriefingHugging Face Adds Public AI as Inference Provider
Key point
Hugging Face has added Public AI as a new inference provider to support public AI models.
Details
Public AI has newly joined the serverless inference ecosystem of the Hugging Face Hub. This makes public and sovereign models from major institutions such as the Swiss AI Initiative and AI Singapore instantly available on the Hub.
The Public AI Inference Utility is a nonprofit open-source project that provides an OpenAI-compatible API using vLLM-based distributed infrastructure. Its key feature is building a stable inference environment by leveraging GPU resources donated from around the world.
Users can access it in the following ways:
- Web UI: Users can register their own API key directly in their user settings, or use routing and billing through their Hugging Face account.
- SDK: It can be easily integrated into existing workflows via the Python (
huggingface_hub) and JavaScript (@huggingface/inference) client libraries.
