Inference Platforms

15 tools

Replicate

Platform to run and fine‑tune AI models with an API; host and deploy state-of-the-art models at scale.

HUGS

Optimized, zero‐configuration inference microservices from Hugging Face designed to simplify and accelerate the deployment of open AI models via an OpenAI‐compatible API.

OpenVINO Toolkit

Open-source toolkit to optimize and deploy AI inference across vision, speech, NLP, and generative models.

Dynamic Speculation

A novel method developed by Intel labs and Hugging Face that accelerates text generation by up to 2.7x using dynamic speculation lookahead in language models, integrated into the Transformers library.

LocalAI

Open‑source, OpenAI‑compatible local inference server for LLMs, TTS, ASR, and diffusion with CPU/GPU backends and container images.

Inference Endpoints by Hugging Face

A fully managed inference deployment service that allows users to easily deploy models (such as Transformers and Diffusers) from the Hugging Face Hub on secure, compliant, and scalable infrastructure. It offers pay-as-you-go pricing and supports a variety of tasks including text generation, speech recognition, image generation, and more.

Text Generation Inference

A toolkit for serving and deploying large language models (LLMs) for text generation via Rust, Python, and gRPC. It is optimized for inference and supports tensor parallelism for efficient scaling.

vLLM

A high-throughput, memory-efficient library for large language model inference and serving that supports tensor and pipeline parallelism.

Xorbits Inference (Xinference)

Xorbits Inference (Xinference) is a versatile, open-source library that simplifies the deployment and serving of language models, speech recognition models, and multimodal models. It empowers developers to replace OpenAI GPT with any open-source model using minimal code changes, supporting cloud, on-premises, and self-hosted setups.

New API

An open-source, next-generation LLM gateway and AI asset management system that unifies various large model APIs (such as OpenAI and Claude) into a standardized interface. It provides a rich UI, multi-language support, online recharge, usage tracking, token grouping, model charging, and configurable reasoning effort, making it suitable for personal and enterprise internal management and distribution.

OpenVINO Toolkit

An open‐source toolkit for optimizing and deploying AI inference on common platforms such as x86 CPUs and integrated Intel GPUs. It offers advanced model optimization features, quantization tools, pre-trained models, demos, and educational resources to simplify production deployment of AI models.

Text Embeddings Inference

An open-source, high-performance toolkit developed by Hugging Face for deploying and serving text embeddings and sequence classification models. It features dynamic batching, optimized transformers code (via Flash Attention and cuBLASLt), support for multiple model types, and lightweight docker images for fast inference.

ai-gateway

ai-gateway is an open-source API gateway that orchestrates AI model requests from multiple providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini). It includes features such as guardrails, cost control, custom endpoints, and detailed tracing (using spans), making it a backend tool for managing and routing AI API calls.

Replicate Playground

A web platform that allows users to experiment with, compare, and rapidly prototype AI models via API calls.

OVHcloud AI Endpoints Beta

A beta service from OVHcloud that provides secure, token-authenticated API endpoints to access a curated list of open-source AI models. It allows developers to integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities—including LLMs, vision models, and more—into their applications, leveraging OVHcloud GPU infrastructure and offering detailed usage metrics and documentation.
