About Hugging Face
AIWatch Data: Hugging Face's reported uptime is 99.85%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it experienced 8 incidents with an average recovery time of 35 minutes.
Hugging Face hosts the largest open-source AI model hub plus Inference API endpoints, datasets, and Spaces (deployed apps). It is the de facto registry for open ML and a major inference provider.
AIWatch Insight: Hugging Face has multiple distinct services (Hub, Inference API, Spaces, Datasets) that can fail independently. AIWatch monitors the Inference API path most relevant to API consumers — Hub-only or Spaces-only outages may not trigger an inference incident.
When Hugging Face Inference API is down, apps loading models programmatically or using hosted inference endpoints will fail. Even when Inference is healthy, Hub or Spaces outages can affect model downloads and deployed apps.
This page provides real-time status, uptime history, and recent incident details — updated every 5 minutes by AIWatch.
