Microsoft Unveils Video-Capable Vision-Language Model Mage-VL
Multimodal model handling images, video, and text released open-source on Hugging Face
A public marketplace where AI models are gathered and distributed. Rather than a company that builds models itself, it functions as "the GitHub of models," hosting publicly available models built by others. The Hub hosts a wide range of open-weight models, from transformer-based models to image and speech generation models. The structure is such that various providers plug in inference infrastructure for users who want to download and run models themselves, and in August 2026, Baseten joined this list as an inference provider for Hugging Face.
