What you can do with it
Hugging Face's chat interface lets you explore open models without downloading their weights or configuring local inference. Its Omni router can choose a model for your request, while direct model selection supports comparison. Current access uses Hugging Face inference credits, so this is best treated as a small experimentation allowance.
Free plan
What’s included for free
Free accounts receive $0.10 in monthly Inference Providers credits, subject to change. HuggingChat consumes these credits; model/token costs determine how many messages fit, and continued usage may require payment.
Free tiers can restrict usage or features. Paid upgrades are separate.
Limits to know
The free allowance is very small; older claims of unlimited free HuggingChat are outdated.
Available models
Model availability can differ by plan and change over time.
