Inference

Inference is the process of using a trained model to make predictions on new data. As this process can be compute-intensive, running on a dedicated server can be an interesting option. The `huggingface_hub` library provides an easy way to call a service that runs inference for hosted models. There are several services you can connect to:

- Inference API: a service that allows you to run accelerated inference on Hugging Face’s infrastructure for free. This service is a fast way to get started, test different models, and prototype AI products.
- Inference Endpoints: a product to easily deploy models to production. Inference is run by Hugging Face in a dedicated, fully managed infrastructure on a cloud provider of your choice.

These services can be called with the InferenceClient object. Please refer to this guide for more information on how to use it.

##
Inference Client

###
class huggingface_hub.InferenceClient

< source >

( model: Optional = None token: Union = None timeout: Optional = None headers: Optional = None cookies: Optional = None )

Parameters

- model (`str`, `optional`) — The model to run inference with. Can be a model id hosted on the Hugging Face Hub, e.g. `bigcode/starcoder` or a URL to a deployed Inference Endpoint. Defaults to None, in which case a recommended model is automatically selected for the task.
- token (`str` or `bool`, optional) — Hugging Face token. Will default to the locally saved token if not provided. Pass `token=False` if you don’t want to send your token to the server.
- timeout (`float`, `optional`) — The maximum number of seconds to wait for a response from the server. Loading a new model in Inference API can take up to several minutes. Defaults to None, meaning it will loop until the server is available.
- headers (`Dict[str, str]`, `optional`) — Additional headers to send to the server. By default only the authorization and user-agent headers are sent. Values in this dictionary will override the default values.
- cookies (`Dict[str, str]`, `optional`) — Additional cookies to send to the server.

Initialize a new Inference Client.

InferenceClient aims to provide a unified experience to perform inference. The client can be used seamlessly with either the (free) Inference API or self-hosted Inference Endpoints.

[`ChatCompletionOutput] or Iterable of ChatCompletionStreamOutput

Parameters

- messages (List[Union[`SystemMessage`, `UserMessage`, `AssistantMessage`]]) — Conversation history consisting of roles and content pairs.
- model (`str`, optional) — The model to use for chat-completion. Can be a model ID hosted on the Hugging Face Hub or a URL to a deployed Inference Endpoint. If not provided, the default recommended model for chat-based text-generation will be used. See https://huggingface.co/tasks/text-generation for more details.
- frequency_penalty (`float`, optional) — Penalizes new tokens based on their existing frequency in the text so far. Range: [-2.0, 2.0]. Defaults to 0.0.
- logit_bias (`List[float]`, optional) — Modify the likelihood of specified tokens appearing in the completion. Accepts a JSON object that maps tokens (specified by their token ID in the tokenizer) to an associated bias value from -100 to 100. Mathematically, the bias is added to the logits generated by the model prior to sampling. The exact effect will vary per model, but values between -1 and 1 should decrease or increase likelihood of selection; values like -100 or 100 should result in a ban or exclusive selection of the relevant token. Defaults to None.
- logprobs (`bool`, optional) — Whether to return log probabilities of the output tokens or not. If true, returns the log probabilities of each output token returned in the content of message.
- max_tokens (`int`, optional) — Maximum number of tokens allowed in the response. Defaults to 20.
- n (`int`, optional) — UNUSED.
- presence_penalty (`float`, optional) — Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on whether they appear in the text so far, increasing the model’s likelihood to talk about new topics.
- seed (Optional`int`, optional) — Seed for reproducible control flow. Defaults to None.
- stop (Optional`str`, optional) — Up to four strings which trigger the end of the response. Defaults to None.
- stream (`bool`, optional) — Enable realtime streaming of responses. Defaults to False.
- temperature (`float`, optional) — Controls randomness of the generations. Lower values ensure less random completions. Range: [0, 2]. Defaults to 1.0.
- top_logprobs (`int`, optional) — An integer between 0 and 5 specifying the number of most likely tokens to return at each token position, each with an associated log probability. logprobs must be set to true if this parameter is used.
- top_p (`float`, optional) — Fraction of the most likely next words to sample from. Must be between 0 and 1. Defaults to 1.0.
- tool_choice (ChatCompletionInputToolTypeClass or `ChatCompletionInputToolTypeEnum`, optional) — The tool to use for the completion. Defaults to “auto”.
- tool_prompt (`str`, optional) — A prompt to be appended before the tools.
- tools (List of ChatCompletionInputTool, optional) — A list of tools the model may call. Currently, only functions are supported as a tool. Use this to provide a list of functions the model may generate JSON inputs for.

Returns

[`ChatCompletionOutput] or Iterable of ChatCompletionStreamOutput

Generated text returned from the server:

- if `stream=False`, the generated text is returned as a ChatCompletionOutput (default).
- if `stream=True`, the generated text is returned token by token as a sequence of ChatCompletionStreamOutput.

Raises

InferenceTimeoutError or `HTTPError`

- InferenceTimeoutError — If the model is unavailable or the request times out.
- `HTTPError` — If the request fails with an HTTP error status code other than HTTP 503.

A method for completing conversations using a specified language model.

If the model is served by a server supporting chat-completion, the method will directly call the server’s `/v1/chat/completions` endpoint. If the server does not support chat-completion, the method will render the chat template client-side based on the information fetched from the Hub API. In this case, you will need to have `minijinja` template engine installed. Run `pip install "huggingface_hub[inference]"` or `pip install minijinja` to install it.

`Image`

Parameters

- image (`Union[str, Path, bytes, BinaryIO]`) — The input image for translation. It can be raw bytes, an image file, or a URL to an online image.
- prompt (`str`, optional) — The text prompt to guide the image generation.
- negative_prompt (`str`, optional) — A negative prompt to guide the translation process.
- height (`int`, optional) — The height in pixels of the generated image.
- width (`int`, optional) — The width in pixels of the generated image.
- num_inference_steps (`int`, optional) — The number of denoising steps. More denoising steps usually lead to a higher quality image at the expense of slower inference.
- guidance_scale (`float`, optional) — Higher guidance scale encourages to generate images that are closely linked to the text `prompt`, usually at the expense of lower image quality.
- model (`str`, optional) — The model to use for inference. Can be a model ID hosted on the Hugging Face Hub or a URL to a deployed Inference Endpoint. This parameter overrides the model defined at the instance level. Defaults to None.

Returns

`Image`

The translated image.

####
list_deployed_models

< source >

( frameworks: Union = None ) →
`Dict[str, List[str]]`

Parameters

- frameworks (`Literal["all"]` or `List[str]` or `str`, optional) — The frameworks to filter on. By default only a subset of the available frameworks are tested. If set to “all”, all available frameworks will be tested. It is also possible to provide a single framework or a custom set of frameworks to check.

Returns

`Dict[str, List[str]]`

A dictionary mapping task names to a sorted list of model IDs.

List models deployed on the Serverless Inference API service.

This helper checks deployed models framework by framework. By default, it will check the 4 main frameworks that are supported and account for 95% of the hosted models. However, if you want a complete list of models you can specify `frameworks="all"` as input. Alternatively, if you know before-hand which framework you are interested in, you can also restrict to search to this one (e.g. `frameworks="text-generation-inference"`). The more frameworks are checked, the more time it will take.

This endpoint method does not return a live list of all models available for the Serverless Inference API service. It searches over a cached list of models that were recently available and the list may not be up to date. If you want to know the live status of a specific model, use get_model_status().

This endpoint method is mostly useful for discoverability. If you already know which model you want to use and want to check its availability, you can directly use get_model_status().

Example:

    >>> from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient
    >>> client = InferenceClient()

    # Discover zero-shot-classification models currently deployed
    >>> models = client.list_deployed_models()
    >>> models["zero-shot-classification"]
    ['Narsil/deberta-large-mnli-zero-cls', 'facebook/bart-large-mnli', ...]

    # List from only 1 framework
    >>> client.list_deployed_models("text-generation-inference")
    {'text-generation': ['bigcode/starcoder', 'meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf', ...], ...}

####

Given a prompt, generate the following text.

API endpoint is supposed to run with the `text-generation-inference` backend (TGI). This backend is the go-to solution to run large language models at scale. However, for some smaller models (e.g. “gpt2”) the default `transformers` + `api-inference` solution is still in use. Both approaches have very similar APIs, but not exactly the same. This method is compatible with both approaches but some parameters are only available for `text-generation-inference`. If some parameters are ignored, a warning message is triggered but the process continues correctly.

To learn more about the TGI project, please refer to https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference.

Parameters

- messages (List[Union[`SystemMessage`, `UserMessage`, `AssistantMessage`]]) — Conversation history consisting of roles and content pairs.
- model (`str`, optional) — The model to use for chat-completion. Can be a model ID hosted on the Hugging Face Hub or a URL to a deployed Inference Endpoint. If not provided, the default recommended model for chat-based text-generation will be used. See https://huggingface.co/tasks/text-generation for more details.
- frequency_penalty (`float`, optional) — Penalizes new tokens based on their existing frequency in the text so far. Range: [-2.0, 2.0]. Defaults to 0.0.
- logit_bias (`List[float]`, optional) — Modify the likelihood of specified tokens appearing in the completion. Accepts a JSON object that maps tokens (specified by their token ID in the tokenizer) to an associated bias value from -100 to 100. Mathematically, the bias is added to the logits generated by the model prior to sampling. The exact effect will vary per model, but values between -1 and 1 should decrease or increase likelihood of selection; values like -100 or 100 should result in a ban or exclusive selection of the relevant token. Defaults to None.
- logprobs (`bool`, optional) — Whether to return log probabilities of the output tokens or not. If true, returns the log probabilities of each output token returned in the content of message.
- max_tokens (`int`, optional) — Maximum number of tokens allowed in the response. Defaults to 20.
- n (`int`, optional) — UNUSED.
- presence_penalty (`float`, optional) — Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on whether they appear in the text so far, increasing the model’s likelihood to talk about new topics.
- seed (Optional`int`, optional) — Seed for reproducible control flow. Defaults to None.
- stop (Optional`str`, optional) — Up to four strings which trigger the end of the response. Defaults to None.
- stream (`bool`, optional) — Enable realtime streaming of responses. Defaults to False.
- temperature (`float`, optional) — Controls randomness of the generations. Lower values ensure less random completions. Range: [0, 2]. Defaults to 1.0.
- top_logprobs (`int`, optional) — An integer between 0 and 5 specifying the number of most likely tokens to return at each token position, each with an associated log probability. logprobs must be set to true if this parameter is used.
- top_p (`float`, optional) — Fraction of the most likely next words to sample from. Must be between 0 and 1. Defaults to 1.0.
- tool_choice (ChatCompletionInputToolTypeClass or `ChatCompletionInputToolTypeEnum`, optional) — The tool to use for the completion. Defaults to “auto”.
- tool_prompt (`str`, optional) — A prompt to be appended before the tools.
- tools (List of ChatCompletionInputTool, optional) — A list of tools the model may call. Currently, only functions are supported as a tool. Use this to provide a list of functions the model may generate JSON inputs for.

Returns

[`ChatCompletionOutput] or Iterable of ChatCompletionStreamOutput

Generated text returned from the server:

- if `stream=False`, the generated text is returned as a ChatCompletionOutput (default).
- if `stream=True`, the generated text is returned token by token as a sequence of ChatCompletionStreamOutput.

Raises

InferenceTimeoutError or `aiohttp.ClientResponseError`

- InferenceTimeoutError — If the model is unavailable or the request times out.
- `aiohttp.ClientResponseError` — If the request fails with an HTTP error status code other than HTTP 503.

A method for completing conversations using a specified language model.

If the model is served by a server supporting chat-completion, the method will directly call the server’s `/v1/chat/completions` endpoint. If the server does not support chat-completion, the method will render the chat template client-side based on the information fetched from the Hub API. In this case, you will need to have `minijinja` template engine installed. Run `pip install "huggingface_hub[inference]"` or `pip install minijinja` to install it.

####
list_deployed_models

< source >

( frameworks: Union = None ) →
`Dict[str, List[str]]`

Parameters

- frameworks (`Literal["all"]` or `List[str]` or `str`, optional) — The frameworks to filter on. By default only a subset of the available frameworks are tested. If set to “all”, all available frameworks will be tested. It is also possible to provide a single framework or a custom set of frameworks to check.

Returns

`Dict[str, List[str]]`

A dictionary mapping task names to a sorted list of model IDs.

List models deployed on the Serverless Inference API service.

This helper checks deployed models framework by framework. By default, it will check the 4 main frameworks that are supported and account for 95% of the hosted models. However, if you want a complete list of models you can specify `frameworks="all"` as input. Alternatively, if you know before-hand which framework you are interested in, you can also restrict to search to this one (e.g. `frameworks="text-generation-inference"`). The more frameworks are checked, the more time it will take.

This endpoint method does not return a live list of all models available for the Serverless Inference API service. It searches over a cached list of models that were recently available and the list may not be up to date. If you want to know the live status of a specific model, use get_model_status().

This endpoint method is mostly useful for discoverability. If you already know which model you want to use and want to check its availability, you can directly use get_model_status().

Example:

    # Must be run in an async contextthon
    >>> from huggingface_hub import AsyncInferenceClient
    >>> client = AsyncInferenceClient()

    # Discover zero-shot-classification models currently deployed
    >>> models = await client.list_deployed_models()
    >>> models["zero-shot-classification"]
    ['Narsil/deberta-large-mnli-zero-cls', 'facebook/bart-large-mnli', ...]

    # List from only 1 framework
    >>> await client.list_deployed_models("text-generation-inference")
    {'text-generation': ['bigcode/starcoder', 'meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf', ...], ...}

####

Returns

`List[ObjectDetectionOutputElement]`

A list of ObjectDetectionOutputElement items containing the bounding boxes and associated attributes.

- if `details=True` and `stream=True`, the generated text is returned token by token as a iterable of TextGenerationStreamOutput

Raises

`ValidationError` or InferenceTimeoutError or `aiohttp.ClientResponseError`

- `ValidationError` — If input values are not valid. No HTTP call is made to the server.
- InferenceTimeoutError — If the model is unavailable or the request times out.
- `aiohttp.ClientResponseError` — If the request fails with an HTTP error status code other than HTTP 503.

Given a prompt, generate the following text.

API endpoint is supposed to run with the `text-generation-inference` backend (TGI). This backend is the go-to solution to run large language models at scale. However, for some smaller models (e.g. “gpt2”) the default `transformers` + `api-inference` solution is still in use. Both approaches have very similar APIs, but not exactly the same. This method is compatible with both approaches but some parameters are only available for `text-generation-inference`. If some parameters are ignored, a warning message is triggered but the process continues correctly.

To learn more about the TGI project, please refer to https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference.

- model (`str`, optional) — The model to use for inference. Can be a model ID hosted on the Hugging Face Hub or a URL to a deployed Inference Endpoint. This parameter overrides the model defined at the instance level. Defaults to None.

Returns

`List[ZeroShotClassificationOutputElement]`

List of ZeroShotClassificationOutputElement items containing the predicted labels and their confidence.

Raises

InferenceTimeoutError or `aiohttp.ClientResponseError`

- InferenceTimeoutError — If the model is unavailable or the request times out.
- `aiohttp.ClientResponseError` — If the request fails with an HTTP error status code other than HTTP 503.

Provide as input a text and a set of candidate labels to classify the input text.

Example:

    # Must be run in an async context
    >>> from huggingface_hub import AsyncInferenceClient
    >>> client = AsyncInferenceClient()
    >>> text = (
    ...     "A new model offers an explanation async for how the Galilean satellites formed around the solar system's"

( image: Union labels: List model: Optional = None ) →
`List[ZeroShotImageClassificationOutputElement]`

Parameters

- image (`Union[str, Path, bytes, BinaryIO]`) — The input image to caption. It can be raw bytes, an image file, or a URL to an online image.
- labels (`List[str]`) — List of string possible labels. There must be at least 2 labels.
- model (`str`, optional) — The model to use for inference. Can be a model ID hosted on the Hugging Face Hub or a URL to a deployed Inference Endpoint. This parameter overrides the model defined at the instance level. Defaults to None.

Returns

`List[ZeroShotImageClassificationOutputElement]`

    [ZeroShotImageClassificationOutputElement(label='dog', score=0.956),...]

##
InferenceTimeoutError

###
class huggingface_hub.InferenceTimeoutError

< source >

( *args **kwargs )

Error raised when a model is unavailable or the request times out.

###
ModelStatus

###
class huggingface_hub.inference._common.ModelStatus

< source >

( loaded: bool state: str compute_type: Dict framework: str )

Parameters

- loaded (`bool`) — If the model is currently loaded into Hugging Face’s InferenceAPI. Models are loaded on-demand, leading to the user’s first request taking longer. If a model is loaded, you can be assured that it is in a healthy state.
- state (`str`) — The current state of the model. This can be ‘Loaded’, ‘Loadable’, ‘TooBig’. If a model’s state is ‘Loadable’, it’s not too big and has a supported backend. Loadable models are automatically loaded when the user first requests inference on the endpoint. This means it is transparent for the user to load a model, except that the first call takes longer to complete.
- compute_type (`Dict`) — Information about the compute resource the model is using or will use, such as ‘gpu’ type and number of replicas.
- framework (`str`) — The name of the framework that the model was built with, such as ‘transformers’ or ‘text-generation-inference’.

This Dataclass represents the the model status in the Hugging Face Inference API.

##
InferenceAPI

`InferenceAPI` is the legacy way to call the Inference API. The interface is more simplistic and requires knowing the input parameters and output format for each task. It also lacks the ability to connect to other services like Inference Endpoints or AWS SageMaker. `InferenceAPI` will soon be deprecated so we recommend using InferenceClient whenever possible. Check out this guide to learn how to switch from `InferenceAPI` to InferenceClient in your scripts.

###
class huggingface_hub.InferenceApi

< source >

( repo_id: str task: Optional = None token: Optional = None gpu: bool = False )

Client to configure requests and make calls to the HuggingFace Inference API.

Example:

    >>> from huggingface_hub.inference_api import InferenceApi

    >>> # Mask-fill example
    >>> inference = InferenceApi("bert-base-uncased")
    >>> inference(inputs="The goal of life is [MASK].")
    [{'sequence': 'the goal of life is life.', 'score': 0.10933292657136917, 'token': 2166, 'token_str': 'life'}]

    >>> # Question Answering example
    >>> inference = InferenceApi("deepset/roberta-base-squad2")
    >>> inputs = {
    ...     "question": "What's my name?",
    ...     "context": "My name is Clara and I live in Berkeley.",
    ... }
    >>> inference(inputs)
    {'score': 0.9326569437980652, 'start': 11, 'end': 16, 'answer': 'Clara'}

    >>> # Zero-shot example
    >>> inference = InferenceApi("typeform/distilbert-base-uncased-mnli")
    >>> inputs = "Hi, I recently bought a device from your company but it is not working as advertised and I would like to get reimbursed!"
    >>> params = {"candidate_labels": ["refund", "legal", "faq"]}
    >>> inference(inputs, params)
    {'sequence': 'Hi, I recently bought a device from your company but it is not working as advertised and I would like to get reimbursed!', 'labels': ['refund', 'faq', 'legal'], 'scores': [0.9378499388694763, 0.04914155602455139, 0.013008488342165947]}

    >>> # Overriding configured task
    >>> inference = InferenceApi("bert-base-uncased", task="feature-extraction")

    >>> # Text-to-image
    >>> inference = InferenceApi("stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1")
    >>> inference("cat")
    <PIL.PngImagePlugin.PngImageFile image (...)>

    >>> # Return as raw response to parse the output yourself
    >>> inference = InferenceApi("mio/amadeus")
    >>> response = inference("hello world", raw_response=True)
    >>> response.headers
    {"Content-Type": "audio/flac", ...}
    >>> response.content # raw bytes from server
    b'(...)'

####
__init__

< source >

( repo_id: str task: Optional = None token: Optional = None gpu: bool = False )

Parameters

- repo_id (`str`) — Id of repository (e.g. user/bert-base-uncased).
- task (`str`, optional, defaults `None`) — Whether to force a task instead of using task specified in the repository.
- token (str, optional) — The API token to use as HTTP bearer authorization. This is not the authentication token. You can find the token in https://huggingface.co/settings/token. Alternatively, you can find both your organizations and personal API tokens using HfApi().whoami(token).
- gpu (bool, optional, defaults False) — Whether to use GPU instead of CPU for inference(requires Startup plan at least).

Inits headers and API call information.

####
__call__

< source >

( inputs: Union = None params: Optional = None data: Optional = None raw_response: bool = False )

Parameters

- inputs (`str` or `Dict` or `List[str]` or `List[List[str]]`, optional) — Inputs for the prediction.
- params (`Dict`, optional) — Additional parameters for the models. Will be sent as `parameters` in the payload.
- data (`bytes`, optional) — Bytes content of the request. In this case, leave `inputs` and `params` empty.
- raw_response (`bool`, defaults to `False`) — If `True`, the raw `Response` object is returned. You can parse its content as preferred. By default, the content is parsed into a more practical format (json dictionary or PIL Image for example).
