What is Hugging Face? 1.5M+ AI models!
45sInstantly hooks AI enthusiasts by revealing the scale and open-source nature of Hugging Face.
▶ Play ClipHugging Face is an open-source AI community and global hub for over 1.5 million AI models. This tutorial explores its main sections—Spaces, Models, and Datasets—and demonstrates how to build a custom AI image editing app using a Gemini-powered space, with code cloned and customized via Cursor.
Hugging Face is an open-source AI community with over 1.5 million models from companies like Meta, Google, and Alibaba. It's free to try, with paid GPU usage starting at $9/month.
The three main sections are Spaces (ready-to-use apps), Models (open-source model hub), and Datasets (data for fine-tuning).
Spaces are interactive apps for tasks like image generation, video generation, text generation, speech synthesis, and 3D modeling. Users can filter by type and use them with a few clicks.
A space that relights objects based on a selected background. Drop an image, choose a background, and it generates a realistic composite in seconds.
A space that creates two speakers and makes them say custom text. Demonstrates voice generation with a sample conversation.
The Model Hub contains over 1.5 million open-source models sorted by categories like computer vision, NLP, and audio. Users can view code, deploy, and discuss models.
Datasets provides data for model input and fine-tuning. Users can filter by language and task, preview data, run SQL queries, and download datasets.
Using a Gemini-based space, users can edit images (e.g., make a girl eat french fries). The space is free to try with a Gemini API key.
Users can duplicate a space repo, add their own API key, and run it locally. The code is public and can be cloned via Cursor.
Clone the repo using Cursor, install dependencies, set up a Python virtual environment, and run the app with a Gemini API key.
Use Cursor to modify the app's appearance (e.g., Sailor Moon colors and cute fonts). Accept changes and rerun to see the customized version.
Hugging Face is a versatile platform for exploring and deploying AI models. With Spaces, Models, and Datasets, anyone can experiment with cutting-edge AI and build custom apps using open-source code.

5:09[00:00] hey, guys, today's, episode's, going, to, be
[00:02] super, useful, we're, going, to, dive, into, a
[00:05] powerful, AI, platform, that, anybody
[00:08] interested, in, AI, should, know, about, or
[00:10] must, know, about, and, that's, hugging, face
[00:12] hugging, face, has, more, than, 1.5, million
[00:15] open, source, AI, models, from, all, over, the
[00:18] world, I'll, even, show, you, how, you, can
[00:20] leverage, hugging, phase, to, build, your
[00:22] very, own, AI, image, editing, app, based, on
[00:25] the, latest, Google, Gemini
[00:28] update, so, what, is, hugging, face, hugging
[00:31] face, is, an, open, source, AI, community, that
[00:33] has, become, the, global, hub, for, open-
[00:35] Source, large, language, models, whether
[00:37] it's, meta, Google, deep, seek, Alibaba
[00:40] whenever, companies, want, to, release, a, new
[00:42] AI, model, hugging, face, is, where, they
[00:44] publish, them, first, hugging, face, is, free
[00:47] to, try, and, you, can, do, a, lot, of, things
[00:49] without, paying, anything, but, once, you
[00:51] start, using, their, gpus, and, stuff, you
[00:54] will, start, having, to, pay, for, $9, a, month
[00:57] which, is, the, plan, that, I'm, subscribed, to
[01:00] the, main, sections, of, hugging, face
[01:03] includes, models, data, sets, and, spaces
[01:06] let's, start, with, spaces, which, I, think, is
[01:08] where, majority, of, regular, people, people
[01:11] that, are, not, super, technical, who, are, not
[01:13] AI, researchers, will, visit, most, often
[01:16] when, we, open, up, the, spaces, page, what
[01:17] we're, going, to, see, is, spaces, of, the, week
[01:20] which, are, the, popular, spaces, that, you
[01:22] might, want, to, check, out, and, toy, around
[01:24] underneath, it, you'll, see, the, running
[01:26] apps, trending, first, and, there, are
[01:28] hundreds, of, pages, of, the, these, on, the
[01:30] top, you, can, also, filter, by, what, type, of
[01:33] spaces, it, is, it, could, be, image
[01:35] Generation, video, generation, text
[01:37] generation, or, language, generation, speech
[01:39] synthesis, 3D, modeling, there're, all, these
[01:41] goodies, in, spaces, and, they're, all, ready
[01:44] for, you, to, use, with, just, a, few, clicks
[01:46] let's, go, check, out, one, of, the, popular
[01:49] spaces, this, week, I, think, I'm, going, to
[01:51] try, this, lbm, relighting, this, is, a, model
[01:54] where, they, relight, the, object, based, on
[01:56] the, background, that, you, selected, I'm
[01:58] going, to, drop, an, image, of, myself, here
[02:01] and, then, selecting, a, background, and, then
[02:03] click, relight, and, in, 3, seconds, you'll
[02:06] see, this, image, has, generated, me, in, a
[02:09] different, background, and, it, will, make, it
[02:11] more, realistic, although, this, image, is, a
[02:13] little, bit, spooky, but, let's, try, again
[02:15] and, now, you, can, kind, of, see, before, and
[02:18] after, it, Blends, the, first, image, into, the
[02:21] second, image, it, doesn't, have, to, be, a
[02:22] person, it, could, be, a, product, or, whatnot
[02:25] another, one, that's, been, getting, a, lot, of
[02:27] hype, this, week, is, Sesame, CSM, basically
[02:30] can, create, two, speakers, and, make, them
[02:33] say, stuff, that, you, want, them, to, say, I'm
[02:35] just, going, to, tweak, this, and, now, let's
[02:38] listen, to, it, you, can, have, at, least, call
[02:40] James, I, waited, for, 2, hours, at, that
[02:41] restaurant, I, told, you, the, meeting, ran
[02:43] late, and, my, phone, died, was, I, supposed, to
[02:47] do, find, a, charger, someone's, phone, he's, a
[02:51] landline, literally, anything, other, than
[02:53] leaving, me, sitting, there, alone, I, know
[02:56] this, isn't, perfect, this, product, but, you
[02:58] could, at, least, test, it, with, a, few, clicks
[03:00] you, can, play, around, with, the, latest, AI
[03:03] tools, based, on, the, latest, research, then
[03:05] there's, the, model, Hub, here, you'll, find
[03:08] all, types, of, models, broken, down, by
[03:11] categories, computer, vision, natural
[03:13] language, processing, audio, and, there's, so
[03:16] many, of, them, 1.5, million, plus, models, and
[03:20] it's, sorted, by, trending, by, default
[03:22] remember, these, are, all, open, source, and
[03:24] free, that, means, you, can, even, look, into
[03:26] the, code, you, can, use, it, on, your, own, one
[03:29] once, you, click, into, a, model, you, can, jump
[03:32] into, the, spaces, that, use, this, particular
[03:35] model, you, can, deploy, it, you, can, use, this
[03:37] model, there's, a, community, section, where
[03:39] you, can, have, discussions, about, this, it's
[03:42] super, cool, then, we, can, go, into, data, sets
[03:45] so, what, is, data, sets, data, sets, is, the
[03:47] data, that, you, can, input, into, your, model
[03:49] you, can, filter, by, Language, by, the, task
[03:52] that, it, does, you, could, click, onto, one, of
[03:55] the, data, sets, and, look, inside, and, see
[03:57] what, kind, of, data, there, is, and, how, use
[04:00] it, you, can, even, run, SQL, queries, if, you
[04:02] want, through, the, data, set, and, obviously
[04:04] you, can, download, this, and, use, this, data
[04:06] set, these, data, sets, are, perfect, for, when
[04:08] you, want, to, fine-tune, your, own
[04:10] model, now, for, practice, why, don't, we, just
[04:13] take, a, look, at, what's, cool, for, example
[04:16] if, you, want, to, look, at, this, I, thought
[04:18] this, was, really, cool, I, uploaded, a
[04:20] picture, of, a, girl, and, I, want, to, make, the
[04:22] girl, eat, french, fries, instead, of, just
[04:24] holding, her, hand, out, and, we, can, see, that
[04:26] it, did, just, that, this, is, based, on, the
[04:28] latest, gem, Gemini, model, you, could, input
[04:32] your, own, Gemini, API, key, but, for, now
[04:34] they're, letting, you, try, it, for, free, this
[04:36] is, a, really, cool, app, cool, space, you, can
[04:39] duplicate, this, repo, add, your, own, secret
[04:41] and, click, duplicate, space, I've, already
[04:44] done, that, so, now, I, can, technically, input
[04:47] anything, make, her, cry, instead, of, smile
[04:49] and, it's, absolutely, adorable, say, you
[04:51] like, this, product, a, lot, and, you, want, to
[04:55] host, it, on, your, own, site, how, do, you, do
[04:57] something, like, that, the, code, is, public
[04:59] public, and, you, can, download, it, let's
[05:02] just, say, you, want, to, customize, this, all
[05:04] you, have, to, do, is, click, on, files, this, is
[05:06] the, code, you, will, want, to, download, to
[05:09] make, your, own, app, so, what, we're, going, to
[05:11] do, is, clone, repo, and, they, are, going, to
[05:14] give, you, the, instructions, over, here, just
[05:16] click, copy, and, then, we're, going, to, open
[05:18] up, cursor, hit, clone, repo, and, see, this
[05:21] pop, up, over, here, and
[05:24] paste, this, assuming, you've, already, set
[05:26] up, your, cursor, if, you, haven't, already
[05:28] you, could, watch, one, of, my, previous, vide
[05:30] on, cursor, to, set, it, up, select, a, folder
[05:33] that, you, want, to, open, it, now, that, you're
[05:35] in, here, you, can, follow, the, instructions
[05:38] and, make, sure, you, have, this, installed
[05:40] toggle, this, panel, which, you, can, also, use
[05:43] command, J, to, bring, up, this, is, just, a
[05:45] terminal, and, install, this, I, already, have
[05:48] this, I'm, going, to, use, cursor, agent, and
[05:51] ask, it, to, help, me, build, this, app, so, I
[05:54] can, run, it, locally, add, the, context
[05:56] attach, the, app, over, here, and, then, send
[05:59] it, even, if, you, don't, know, how, to, code
[06:01] cursor, is, going, to, go, step, by, step, and
[06:03] figure, out, what, they, need, to, do, so, first
[06:05] creating, a, python, virtual, environment
[06:08] Pyon, 3, I, already, have, it, install, the
[06:10] requirement, basically, you, just, let
[06:12] cursor, run, its, course, and, accept, the
[06:15] changes, you, need, to, get, a, Gemini, API, key
[06:18] to, use, with, this, app, and, to, get, this, key
[06:21] if, you, go, back, here, you, can, click, get, an
[06:24] API, key, you, can, create, an, API, key, over
[06:26] here, just, going, to, copy, it, and, follow
[06:29] the, instructions, it's, telling, you, to, run
[06:32] the, app, will, launch, in, the, local, server
[06:35] copy, and, paste, this, paste, it, as, cursor
[06:37] mentioned, this, app, will, be, running, on
[06:40] this, local, URL, click, on, it, and, follow, it
[06:43] and, now, you, can, see, that, this, is, on, my
[06:45] local, server, dropping, an, image, here, you
[06:47] can, click, generate, but, it's, not, going, to
[06:49] work, because, you, don't, have, an, API, key
[06:51] so, once, the, user, paste, and, API, key, you
[06:54] should, see, that, it, will, now, be
[06:56] processing, and, generating, based, on, the
[06:58] prompt, that, we, said, there, you, go, we, have
[07:00] a, girl, eating, a, banana, and, obviously, now
[07:03] this, part, is, required, about, inputting
[07:06] your, own, API, key, since, it's, your, own
[07:09] server, what, happens, if, you, want, cursor
[07:12] to, alter, this, and, customize, it, to, make
[07:15] it, your, own, I, just, told, cursor, I, like
[07:16] this, that, I, want, Sailor, Moon, colors, and
[07:18] cute, fonts, this, is, my, prompt, over, here
[07:21] we'll, see, what, cursor, comes, up, with, all
[07:23] you, have, to, do, is, command, enter, to
[07:25] accept, all, the, changes, now, run, the
[07:27] command, once, it's, done, click, to, follow
[07:30] the, link, you, can, see, that, the, background
[07:33] is, different, you, can, also, change, the
[07:36] title, of, this, or, whatnot, but, you, get, the
[07:38] idea, you, can, customize, your, own, site, and
[07:41] make, your, own, app, based, on, the, code, that
[07:43] people, shared, with, you, obviously, make
[07:44] sure, you, look, and, see, what, kind, of
[07:46] license, it, has, and, whether, you, need, to
[07:49] give, any, credits, but, that's, how, you, can
[07:52] download, the, code, and, tweak, it, in, cursor
[07:54] so, you, can, make, your, own, AI, app, now
[07:57] that's, it, for, today, this, is, a, quick
[07:58] tutorial, I, hope, hope, you, enjoyed, it
[08:00] leave, a, comment, below, letting, me, know, if
[08:02] you've, used, hugging, face, before, whether
[08:04] you, have, spaces, whether, I, could, check
[08:06] out, your, spaces, and, I, would, love, to, see
[08:08] what, cool, stuff, you, built, with, it, be
[08:10] sure, to, hit, this, like, subscribe, and
[08:13] notify, button, that, will, help, this, small
[08:14] Channel, out, a, lot, and, see, you, in, the
[08:16] next, video
