Overview
Description
Deploy and serve the most popular open-source LLMs at production scale without building inference infrastructure from scratch. TGI powers Hugging Face's own products with continuous batching, token streaming, and an OpenAI-compatible API built in. The bottom line: faster AI feature delivery backed by a battle-tested inference engine.
