AI company Hugging Face has released a https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface.js that allows frontend and web developers to add machine learning capabilities to webpages and apps. Traditionally, Python notebooks are the toolkit for data scientists, but for most web and frontend developers, it’s https://thenewstack.io/javascript-developers-on-what-matters-and-whats-next/. That’s why Hugging Face created its new HuggingFace.js library that will allow developers to leverage the startup’s capabilities on websites and apps.

Using JavaScript, the browser can request machine learning models to serve predictions and obtain answers for a visitor.

One thing that makes Hugging Face’s open source options different than, say, https://thenewstack.io/ai-moves-to-the-web/ or other less open AI APIs, is that developers have more information about potential biases and other details about the models, Boudier emphasized.
