huggingface-inference-guide

huggingface-inference-guide is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wentorai/research-plugins. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,905 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to running ready-made language, vision, audio, and multimodal machine-learning models through the Hugging Face Inference API. Hugging Face is a platform that hosts models shared by the machine-learning community.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to call models for text classification, summarization, translation, question answering, text generation, image analysis, and related tasks.
Why use it?
It avoids requiring developers to manage model servers or dedicated graphics hardware for early experiments and small projects.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

huggingface-inference-guide scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Hugging Face Inference API Guide

Overview

The Hugging Face Inference API provides instant access to thousands of pre-trained machine learning models for natural language processing, computer vision, audio processing, and multimodal tasks. Researchers can run inference on state-of-the-art models without managing infrastructure, GPU resources, or complex deployment pipelines.

The API hosts models from the Hugging Face Hub, which contains over 500,000 models contributed by the research community. This includes transformer models for text classification, named entity recognition, summarization, translation, question answering, text generation, and image classification. For academic researchers, the Inference API is invaluable for rapid prototyping, benchmark evaluation, and integrating ML capabilities into research workflows without dedicated compute resources.

The free tier provides access to a broad selection of models with rate limits suitable for development and small-scale research. An API token is required for authentication, available for free at huggingface.co.

Authentication

A free Hugging Face API token is required. Create an account and generate a token at https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens.

Store your token securely in an environment variable:

export HF_API_TOKEN=$HF_API_TOKEN
curl -X POST "https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/bert-base-uncased" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HF_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

huggingface-inference-guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository wentorai/research-plugins (291 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 1,905 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
