Hugging Face has added three new serverless inference providers—Hyperbolic, Nebius AI Studio, and Novita—to its Hub, expanding the range of models available directly on model pages and within the JS and Python SDKs. The addition brings models such as DeepSeek‑R1 and Flux.1 into the ecosystem, with billing handled either directly by the provider or through Hugging Face’s routing. PRO users receive monthly inference credits and other benefits, while free users get a limited quota.
We’re thrilled to announce the addition of three more outstanding serverless Inference Providers to the Hugging Face Hub: Hyperbolic , Nebius AI Studio , and Novita . These providers join our growing ecosystem, enhancing the breadth and capabilities of serverless inference directly on the Hub’s model pages. They’re also seamlessly integrated into our client SDKs (for both JS and Python), making it super easy to use a wide variety of models with your preferred providers.
These partners join the ranks of our existing providers, including Together AI, Sambanova, Replicate, fal and Fireworks.ai.
The new partners enable a swath of new models: DeepSeek-R1, Flux.1, and many others. Find all the models supported by them below:
Install huggingface_hub from source (see instructions ). Official support will be released soon in version v0.29.0.

To move to a different provider, you can simply change the provider name, everything else stays the same:
For direct requests, i.e. when you use the key from an inference provider, you are billed by the corresponding provider. For instance, if you use a Nebius AI Studio key you're billed on your Nebius AI Studio account.
Expanding serverless inference options lowers entry barriers for developers and accelerates experimentation with cutting‑edge models, fostering broader AI adoption.
