Hugging Face on a Mac
Model hub, Inference API & local tooling · AI / LLMs
Hugging Face is the hub for open models, datasets and Spaces, plus the Transformers library and serving stacks. Install the CLI (brew install huggingface-cli) to log in and pull/push models for the local servers here (MLX-LM, vLLM, Ollama). Hosted Inference Endpoints and the Inference API give a REST endpoint to hook into other services; self-host high-throughput serving with Text Generation Inference (TGI). Keep your access token in Keychain.
